The Mission of
Fairfield University

Fairfield University, founded by the Society of
Jesus, is a coeducational institution of higher
learning whose primary objectives are to de-
velop the creative intellectual potential of its
students and to foster in them ethical and reli-
gious values and a sense of social responsibil-
ity. Jesuit Education, which began in 1547, is
committed today to the service of faith, of which
the promotion of justice is an absolute require-
ment.

Fairfield is Catholic in both tradition and spirit. It
celebrates the God-given dignity of every hu-
man person. As a Catholic university it wel-
comes those of all beliefs and traditions who
share its concerns for scholarship, justice, truth,
and freedom, and it values the diversity which
their membership brings to the university
community.

Fairfield educates its students through a variety
of scholarly and professional disciplines. All of
its schools share a liberal and humanistic per-
spective and a commitment to excellence. Fair-
field encourages a respect for all the disciplines
— their similarities, their differences, and their
interrelationships. In particular, in its undergrad-
uate schools it provides all students with a
broadly based general education curriculum
with a special emphasis on the traditional hu-
manities as a complement to the more special-
ized preparation in disciplines and professions
provided by the major programs. Fairfield is also
committed to the needs of society for liberally
educated professionals. It meets the needs of its
students to assume positions in this society
through its undergraduate and graduate profes-
sional schools and programs.

A Fairfield education is a liberal education,
characterized by its breadth and depth. It offers
opportunities for individual and common reflec-
tion, and it provides training in such essential
human skills as analysis, synthesis, and com-
munication. The liberally educated person is
able to assimilate and organize facts, to eval-
uate knowledge, to identify issues, to use appro-

riate methods of reasoning, and to convey con-
clusions persuasively in written and spoken
word. Equally essential to liberal education is
the development of the aesthetic dimension of
human nature, the power to imagine, to intuit, to
create, and to appreciate. In its fullest sense
liberal education initiates students at a mature
level into their culture, its past, its present, and
its future.

Fairfield recognizes that learning is a life-long
process and sees the education which it pro-
vides as the foundation upon which its students
may continue to build within their chosen areas
of scholarly study or professional development.
It also seeks to foster in its students a continuing
intellectual curiosity and a desire for self-
education which will extend to the broad range
of areas to which they have been introduced in
their studies.

As a community of scholars, Fairfield gladly
joins in the broader task of expanding human
knowledge and deepening human understand-
ing, and to this end it encourages and supports
the scholarly research and artistic production of
its faculty and students.

Fairfield has a further obligation to the wider
community of which it is a part, to share with its
neighbors its resources and its special exper-
tise for the betterment of the community as a
whole. Faculty and students are encouraged to
participate in the larger community through
service and academic activities. But most of all,
Fairfield serves the wider community by educat-
ing its students to be socially aware and morally
responsible persons.

Fairfield University values each of its students
as an individual with unique abilities and poten-
tials, and it respects the personal and academic
freedom of all its members. At the same time it
seeks to develop a greater sense of community
within itself, a sense that all of its members
belong to and are involved in the University,
sharing common goals and a common commit-
ment to truth and justice, and manifesting in
their lives the common concern for others which
is the obligation of all educated, mature human
beings.

An Overview of Fairfield University

An Overview of
Fairfield University

Fairfield is a proud tradition of learning. When
Fairfield opened its doors in 1942, it became the
26th institution of higher learning operated by
the Jesuit Order in the United States — and, as
such, the inheritor of a tradition of learning and
scholarship that dates back to 1540 when St.
Ignatius Loyola founded the Society of Jesus
(the Jesuits) on the principle of active service in
the world.

From that time, many Jesuits chose education
as their field of service. A basic Jesuit principle,
the striving for excellence, led them to create
schools that have become renowned for aca-
demic quality. A Jesuit education has come to
mean a high standard of academic discipline
within Judeo-Christian values.

Our students are selected without regard to
religion, race, color, sex, national or ethnic
origin, or handicap. This diversity acts as a
stimulus to your education and gives you an
opportunity to make friendships that will
broaden your horizons and enrich your life.

A still greater influence on your life will be your
professors, who exhibit an even wider diversity
than do the students. Although Fairfield is a
Jesuit university, the majority of 176 full-time
faculty are lay persons who represent many
faiths and creeds. Both lay and Jesuit, the
faculty hold degrees from over 134 American
and European colleges and universities, and
75% of them hold the highest degree available
in their discipline. Many have had practical
experience in various careers and professions
before becoming teachers. Almost without ex-
ception you will find them eager to sit with you
and talk about your academic progress or your
personal problems. An important plus: Fairfield
has no graduate students who teach in any of its
colleges or schools.

Although our students and faculty have varied
backgrounds, they have come to Fairfield
because they share common goals: the striving
for excellence in every area of life; the commit-
ment to intellectual honesty, discipline, and in-
quiry; the ideals of a liberal education; the
expression of Christian values through concern
for and service to others. They are, in other
words, the living embodiment of a tradition of
learning nearly 450 years old.

An Overview of Fairfield University

Fairfield is a quality academic program. The

goal of a Fairfield education is to develop the
whole person, and we believe that a liberal
education can achieve this goal because it
exposes you to the whole of learning.

The University has created a "core curriculum"
for all students in all undergraduate schools. It
includes from two to five courses in each of
these areas:

• Mathematics and Natural Sciences, to ac-
quaint you with both mathematical logic and
the workings of the physical world;

• History and Social Sciences, to give you a
knowledge of the past, a contemporary social
awareness, and a sense of civic responsibility;

• Philosophy and Religious Studies, to help you
to a clear knowledge of ultimate religious,
philosophical, and moral values;

• English and Fine Arts, to develop the habits of
logical thinking and accurate expression, and
to give you an understanding of human nature
through literature, drama, music, and art;

• Modern and Classical Languages, to provide
an insight into other cultures and other modes
of expression and thought.

An Overview of Fairfield University

Within the framework of these five areas, you
have a number of options. The requirement in
Philosophy and Religious Studies, for example,
includes two courses in religion. But you can
choose to examine your own spiritual heritage
or the beliefs of others; your courses can be as
general as "Religion and Psychology" or as
specific as "The Writings of Paul." You will find
enough options like this so that fulfilling the
requirements becomes a stimulating and enjoy-
able experience while providing the breadth of
knowledge necessary for your further studies,
and for life as a well-educated human being.

As a partner in planning your academic pro-
gram, you will have a faculty advisor. In your
freshman year your advisor will be assigned
from the faculty at large; in later years, he or she
will be a professor in your major field. If you want
to enter professional or graduate school, your
advisor will be someone who is knowledgeable
in the admissions requirements of those institu-
tions and who can help you plan a course of
study that will further your professional goals.

Although Fairfield has some 2,800 undergradu-
ate students, it is organized as a grouping of
small divisions under a larger "intellectual um-
brella." This enables us to combine the intimacy
and the personal attention that are the strengths
of a small college with the advantages of a
university. Your classes will be relatively small,
especially in your junior and senior years, and
they will be taught by professors who can — and
do — give time to your individual instruction. But
you will also find that the full resources of the
University are at your command whenever you
need them.

The University has five schools: the College of
Arts and Sciences; the School of Business; the
School of Nursing; the School of Graduate and
Continuing Education; the Graduate School of
Corporate and Political Communication. In addi-
tion to courses offered during the year, these
schools also offer courses during the summer.

An Overview of Fairfield University

The College of Arts and Sciences, the oldest
and largest of Fairfield's five schools, offers two
degrees, Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of
Science.

If you wish to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in
the College of Arts and Sciences, you may
major in American studies, economics, English,
fine arts (art, music, theatre), history, modern
languages (French, German, Spanish), philoso-
phy, politics, psychology, religious studies,
sociology, or communication arts.

On the other hand, if you wish a Bachelor
of Science degree, you may major in biol-
ogy, chemistry, mathematics, computer
science, physics, or psychology.

Students are encouraged to select a major at
the end of their freshman year if they have not
already done so.

If you are unsure of your career direction, and
many students are, you may discuss the possi-
bilities with your faculty advisor, with other pro-
fessors, or with a career counselor in our Career
Planning Center. Selecting a major is not an
irrevocable decision. The academic program at
Fairfield is flexible enough to allow you to
change to another field if you find your first
choice was not the right one.

Within each major field of study, the College of
Arts and Sciences offers an exceptionally wide
range of courses, from introductory studies to
highly specialized courses for upperclassmen.
And within every major field there is an opportu-
nity for independent study and research that
can carry you far beyond the normal limits of
traditional courses. Double-majors and minors
may be arranged for students interested in com-
bining the skills and talents of two disciplines.

An Overview of Fairfield University

The School of Business is the most recent of
Fairfield's undergraduate colleges. As the repu-
tation for the former Department of Business
Administration grew, the number of students
and the diversity of course offerings became so
extensive that in 1978 the University founded a
separate undergraduate School of Business. A
Master of Science program in Financial
Management began in 1981.

An added impetus to the founding of the School
of Business is the status of Fairfield County as
the fastest-growing corporate headquarters
area in the United States — a sure stimulus to
ambitious young people with business goals. A
further impetus was the establishment on cam-
pus of the Center for Financial Studies, a con-
ference center for management education. A
principal user of the Center is the National
Council of Savings Institutions. Fairfield Univer-
sity, through its Management Training Institute,
has the opportunity for substantial use of this
center, which also provides the School of Busi-
ness with an outstanding facility for presenting a
variety of programs and seminars.

As a student in the School of Business, you will
be working toward the degree of Bachelor of
Science in Business. You will take the same
core curriculum required of all other undergrad-
uate students. In addition, you will take a "busi-
ness core curriculum" of subjects which provide
an introduction to the fields of accounting,
statistics, legal environment of business, organi-
zational behavior, production and operations,
business ethics, international business, fi-
nance, computer-based information systems,
and marketing. A capstone course in business
policies completes the student's business
studies.

The balance of your program will depend upon
your major, which may be selected from one of
five areas: accounting, computer information
systems, finance, management, or marketing.
Working with your faculty advisor, you will plan a
curriculum that best suits your career goals.

A feature of the School of Business is the
optional senior-year internship. These intern-
ships are undertaken for credit, and sometimes
for pay. The student's progress is monitored by
both an on-the-job supervisor and a faculty
member. The presence of a large number of
corporate offices in the area gives you some
highly unusual and rewarding opportunities for
internships.

An Overview of Fairfield University

The School of Nursing, founded in 1970, is
fully accredited by the National League for
Nursing, the Connecticut State Board of Nurse
Examiners, and the State of Connecticut De-
partment of Higher Education. The four-year
program leads to a Bachelor of Science degree
with a major in nursing.

The goal of the school is to prepare you for the
first level of competent and compassionate pro-
fessional nursing. Fairfield does not seek to
produce clinical specialists, but rather to pre-
pare the student for general nursing, and
throughout the program you will be exposed to
nursing practice in a variety of clinical and
health care delivery settings and systems.

On-campus nursing classes are held in a mod-
ern building that features a tiered lecture-
demonstration room with projection facilities, a
nursing simulation laboratory where you will
become familiar with the most common tech-
niques and equipment, and an educational
media room that has the most modern multi-
media facilities for learning.

Admission to the School of Nursing is selective.
You must be capable of completing an aca-
demic program in the humanities, mathematics,
social sciences, and natural sciences as well as
the rigorous nursing program. Upon graduation,
you are eligible to take State examinations for
licensure and to continue your education at the
graduate level.

Like all other undergraduate students of Fair-
field, you must complete the core curriculum. In
addition, you will take required courses in
chemistry, biology, psychology, and sociology.

Classroom instruction in nursing theory and
clinical skills begins in your freshman year and
continues throughout the undergraduate pro-
gram. With each passing year your clinical work
will increase until, by the time you are a senior, a
significant portion of your time is spent in the
nursing major, which includes clinical practice
as well as the theory component. To ensure that
you get the breadth and depth of clinical experi-
ence you need, the school has associations with
many facilities including private hospitals, a
veterans hospital, clinics, outpatient depart-
ments, rehabilitation centers, public health de-
partments, and long-term care facilities.

The School of Graduate and Continuing Edu-
cation is committed to a curriculum that
enhances personal growth and professional de-
velopment, and to a flexibility which permits
adults with job, civic and family responsibilities
to continue their education part time. It carries
on Fairfield's tradition of providing Master's and
C.A.S. programs for the certification and ad-
vancement of teachers, administrators, coun-
selors, and other professionals in the field of
education. In addition, a broad selection of
graduate and undergraduate courses are of-
fered late afternoons, evenings, and weekends
for individuals seeking to begin or complete
degree requirements. Its Bachelor degree pro-
grams are extensions of the curricula of the
College of Arts and Sciences, and the Schools
of Business and Nursing, geared to the needs of
the adult learner. In carrying out the University's
commitment to lifelong learning, it provides
short-term skill oriented career entry programs,
and professional improvement courses and
workshops in a variety of career fields.

An Overview of Fairfield University

The Graduate School of Corporate and Politi-
cal Communication was founded in 1966 to
serve the dramatically growing need for im-
proved communication in all human endeavors.
This Master of Arts program enables the student
to generalize, or to specialize in Corporate,
Political, Media, or International/lntercultural
Communication.

Summer Sessions: During the summer the
University offers a wide range of graduate,
undergraduate and professional development
courses. Day and evening courses within four
sessions of different length and intensity are
provided to help students plan a flexible sched-
ule for the summer. The University's aim is to
serve the needs of its own students, those from
other schools who find themselves here for the
summer, and residents in the community seek-
ing professional or personal growth.

Fairfield is the opportunity for practical ex-
perience. Fairfield recognizes that today's stu-
dent wants and needs practical experience,
both through the use of equipment and through
opportunities to participate in on- or off-campus
programs.

The University has been a pioneer in student
use of the computer. Whatever your major, you
will have easy access to our DEC 2060 main-
frame computer through color terminals, and to
rooms filled with Macintosh, IBM PC, and Apple
lie microcomputers.

Introductory computer courses are open to all,
and you can select a minor or a concentration in
the computer field while majoring in another
area. Students more seriously interested in
computers will find majors in both Computer
Science and in Computer Information Systems.

In almost every science department, the Univer-
sity has used grants from the National Science
Foundation, the Nuclear Regulatory Commis-
sion, and NASA to make sizable investments in
sophisticated equipment. This equipment is not
reserved just for professors or graduate stu-
dents. Every student — at every level — has
access.

One important "tool" you will use extensively is
the Nyselius Library. Open access to the more
than 189,000-volume stacks, 260,000 micro-
forms, and 1,500 journals and newspapers
helps to keep faculty and students informed on
new developments in all fields. There are hun-
dreds of individual carrels to give you semi-
private study space. The Library's media
department contains video and audio cassettes,
records, and other audiovisual materials, as well
as equipment for their use.

But to give you practical experience, the Univer-
sity goes far beyond merely making equipment
available. Many academic programs require that
you get "on-the-job" experience. Internships
and work experiences for credit are options you
can exercise in many departments. Your studies
can range even further afield through the
Washington Semester at American University
(for economics and politics majors), the
Washington Center for Learning Alternatives
(for majors in many fields), and study abroad.

Of course, you do not have to leave campus to
get experience in your field. In any major, you
may pursue independent study. Working with
your faculty advisor, you will select a subject in a
particular area, and then move ahead at your
own pace with this original research.

We think you will find that your practical experi-
ence will give you a decided advantage when
you apply for admission to graduate or profes-
sional school or when you interview for a job.

An Overview of Fairfield University

Fairfield is a pleasant learning environment.

The University is located in America's "aca-
demic corridor," that short expanse from New
York City to Boston that contains the world's
largest concentration of colleges and univer-
sities. This location provides you with access to
the cultural, recreational, social, and intellectual
programs of hundreds of other institutions of
higher learning. The town of Fairfield itself
(population approximately 55,000) is about an
hour from New York City and three hours from
Boston, and it is primarily a residential commu-
nity whose citizens enjoy an excellent relation-
ship with the University.

Fairfield's 200-acre campus is among the most
beautiful in the country. Created from two large
private estates, it retains a gracious, tranquil
atmosphere. There are many wooded areas,
lawns, gardens, pleasant walks, and broad
views of the blue waters of Long Island Sound.

If you're a resident student, you'll live in one of
eight modern residence halls, in comfortably
furnished rooms designed for two. Dorms are
coed (with men and women living on alternate
floors or in alternate wings). Rooms "off cam-
pus" in private homes also are available. Some
upperclass students pool their resources to
share a beach house, and the University pro-
vides a shuttle bus between the town area and
the campus. Juniors and seniors also have the
option of living in the University's new
townhouses, which are four-person apartments
on the edge of campus.

The modern Campus Center is the social focal
point for all segments of the University commu-
nity. Here you will find a snack bar, post office,
soundproof music rooms, conference rooms,
student lounges, bookstore, pub, and the major
dining areas. The facilities are also available for
art exhibits, cultural events, and distinguished
speakers.

Fairfield's spacious campus allows plenty of
room for outdoor playing fields, all-weather ten-
nis courts, and informal recreation areas. When
the practice requirements of varsity sports
teams threatened to monopolize the Gymna-
sium, the University built a Recreational Com-
plex to provide even more indoor athletic
facilities — swimming pool, jogging track, in-
door tennis courts, handball courts, and more
— for students who want to participate in sports
for their own enjoyment.

Fairfield is a varied student life. Everything
about your college years can be part of your
total learning experience — learning to get
along with new people, learning to develop new
interests, learning to be a good leader (or
equally as important, to be a good team mem-
ber), learning to make your own decisions and
then accepting the responsibility for them, and
learning to live your own life.

If you are a resident student, you will do a lot of
this kind of learning in your dormitory. Fairfield's
residence halls are largely self-directed, with
the members of each unit deciding many of their
own rules and activities. You can also partici-
pate fully in the life of the University as a
commuter. A significant percentage of Fair-
field's undergraduate students commute; we
make the same effort to respond to their needs
as we do for the resident students.

Commuter or resident, you will be a member of
the Fairfield University Student Association.
FUSA represents the student viewpoint to the
other sectors of the University community, spon-
sors student-operated events, rules on student
infractions of University policies, and allocates
some $96,000 a year in student activity funds.
Becoming actively involved in FUSA will give
you a chance to test your leadership ability and
to take part in decisions that affect the Univer-
sity as a whole.

An Oven/iew of Fairfield University

Student government is only one facet of the rich
and varied campus life at Fairfield. Among
others are:

Student Activities: You can join clubs that reflect
your academic interests, or clubs that let you
enjoy non-academic interests, or clubs that let
you enjoy non-academic pursuits from singing
to watching films to skiing. If you are talented in
music or drama (or if you would like to find out
whether you have talent), there are performance
groups; for budding journalists and broadcas-
ters, there are a magazine, newspaper, year-
book, a Media Center and campus radio station.
f\/lany of our students feel that they can best
express themselves in service to others; there
are a number of community service organiza-
tions on campus.

With scores of student organizations, chances
are good that you can find several that reflect
your own interests. If not, and if there are
enough other students with the same interest,
you'll probably get approval to start your own
organization.

Atliletics: Regardless of your athletic ability or
level of interest in athletics, Fairfield has a
sports program for you. As a National Collegiate
Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I school,
we provide three types of organized athletics:
varsity sports, club sports, and intramurals.

An Overview of Fairfield University

Varsity sports for men are baseball, basket-
ball, cross country, golf, ice hockey, soccer,
swimnning, and tennis. Women's varsity sports
are basketball, tennis, field hockey, softball,
cross country, volleyball, and swimming. The
men's and women's basketball teams are char-
ter members of the Metro Atlantic Athletic
Conference.

The club sports program includes fencing, foot-
ball, lacrosse, rugby, skiing, and volleyball. In-
tramural team competition is offered in tennis,
touch football, volleyball, basketball, street
hockey, and softball.

The Athletic Department also organizes numer-
ous intramural activities in team and individual
sports. These include flag football, volleyball,
inner tube water polo, basketball, softball, soc-
cer, tennis, and racquetball. In addition, in-
struction is offered at the Recreational Complex
in aerobics, dance, swimming, scuba, water
safety, lifesaving, weight training, and tennis.

Cultural Life: Together, the University, academic
departments, FUSA, and student organizations
bring to campus a diversity of performers, enter-
tainers, and lecturers throughout the year. But
with Fairfield's location, culture is not limited to
the campus. On any weekend, and even during
the week, you may find students going to Yale
University cultural programs in New Haven,
heading for Boston or New York, or attending
activities at any of the 35 colleges and univer-
sities that are within an hour's drive of the
Fairfield campus.

An Overview of Fairfield University

Religious Life: Your participation in religious life
is completely up to you. Perhaps because par-
ticipation is optional, Fairfield has a very active
Campus Ministry. A full-time staff of two Jesuit
priests and a woman chaplain, assisted by a
score or more of active students, fosters retreats
and prayer services, presents seminars on reli-
gious and social concerns, and encourages
social response and community involvement.
The Campus Ministry team also provides a
caring response to students who seek spiritual
direction and counseling.

The Campus Ministry can also refer you to a
clergyman of your own faith. Within 15 minutes
of campus there are houses of worship of many
different faiths and denominations.

Student Services: Fairfield provides a number of
other advisory services through its Career Plan-
ning Center, where a staff of professional coun-
selors and psychologists offers both confidential
personal discussions and psychological tests
which can help you assess your strengths and
weaknesses. The Center offers courses in read-
ing improvement and study skills for students
who need help in adjusting to college-level
work, and it maintains a directory of off-campus
jobs for students who need additional income.

A tutorial program is offered through the Coun-
selor for Minority Students to students who are
having difficulty in their academic courses. Stu-
dents are tutored by fellow students who are
academically exceptional in a particular major.
As part of this same program students are
encouraged to meet with their professors when-
ever they are having academic difficulty.

The University health services have registered
nurses on duty around the clock, seven days a
week. One of three physicians staffs the health
services every weekday morning and is on call
at all other times. Specialists in all fields of
medicine are readily available. Should you be-
come seriously ill, you will be admitted to St.
Vincent's Hospital in Bridgeport, just minutes
from campus.

An Overview of Fairfield University

Fairfield is a chance to achieve. Even before
your first college class, you will probably begin
to think about what you will do after you leave. If
you have a definite career in mind, you want an
academic program that will best prepare you. If
you are undecided, you want guidance in ex-
ploring career fields and in matching your ta-
lents and interests to jobs within those fields.
Either way, Fairfield offers expert help.

The Career Planning Center gives interest and
aptitude tests to help you evaluate your poten-
tial. A Career Information Library offers both
general information on the nature of various
careers and specific data on the current job
market. When you are ready to start looking for
a position, there may be workshops in resume
writing and the techniques of being interviewed.
Finally, the Center keeps abreast of needs in all
fields of employment, and either arranges inter-
views for seniors or notifies qualified students of
job openings.

The University also has an enviable record in
placing its graduates in professional schools.
Fairfield's record in placing applicants to medi-
cal, dental, law, and graduate schools is impres-
sive. Approximately 90% of Fairfield's
applicants to law school gain admission to law
school. Fairfield cannot guarantee you a career
— no college can. But Fairfield can guarantee
you the quality of academic preparation that will
make you a desirable candidate for employ-
ment, or for professional or graduate school.

Fairfield is a quality education at a reasonable
cost. The Fairfield Board of Trustees, the ad-
ministration and the faculty constantly strive to
hold the cost of a college education at a reason-
able level without cutting corners on quality. As
a result, the cost of a Fairfield education is
competitive with that of any private institution in
the New England area. For the 1985-86 aca-
demic year, tuition will be $6,900 for the Class of
1989 and $6,700 for the Classes of 1986, 1987,
and 1988. Room and board will be $3,730 and
the townhouse fee will be $2,730.

Because the University recognizes that these
costs — plus other necessary expenses for
books, supplies, travel, and personal needs —
can create a sizable burden for many families,
Fairfield administers a comprehensive financial
aid program. Most financial aid is provided in a
"package" — a combination of scholarships,
grants, loans, and on-campus employment.
About 60% of Fairfield's undergraduates re-
ceive such a package combining all these forms
of financial assistance.

The University suggests that the best way to get
an understanding of Fairfield — its academic
programs, its exceptional faculty, its well-
equipped and attractive campus, its admissions
and financial aid programs — is to visit the
campus. A tour and personal interview are
strongly recommended. For an appointment,

Philosophy of Education

Fairfield University has, as its primary objective,
the development of the creative intellectual po-
tential of its students within a context of religious
commitment.

Fairfield believes in the particular excellence of
a liberal education. In an effort to achieve this
objective, it requires each student to take
courses from five areas of knowledge: mathe-
matics and natural sciences, history and social
sciences, philosophy and religious studies,
English and fine arts, modern languages and
classics. Thus assured of a basic, well-rounded
education, students are free to pursue a major
field of study in preparation for scholarly or
professional pursuits.

To assist the student in the quest for truth, the
University promotes dialogue between teacher
and student, between student and student, be-
tween teacher and teacher. This dialogue takes
place in an environment of absolute freedom of
inquiry.

During the orientation program for freshmen
and transfers, each student is assigned to a
faculty advisor. (In subsequent years, depend-
ing upon the student's major and career in-
terests, the first advisor may be replaced by a
professor in the student's field of academic
interest.) The faculty advisor will be available to
meet regularly with the student, to explain test
results, to offer appropriate counsel, to watch
the student's progress, and, in general, to help
him or her adjust to college life.

If a student plans to enter a professional or
graduate school after graduation from Fairfield,
an advisor who is knowledgeable about that
specific profession and its schools is assigned
to the student. In addition, a Graduate Scholar-
ship Committee, made up of faculty members,
stands ready to assist students in the applica-
tion for and attainment of scholarships and
fellowships to professional and graduate
schools.

The Academic Year

The academic year begins in early September
and ends in late May, with recess periods at
Christmas and in the Spring. It is divided into
two semesters, each extending over a period of
about 15 weeks. The semester hour is the unit of
instructional credit.

The class day begins at 8:20 in the morning and
is divided into class periods of 50 or 75 minutes
and laboratory periods of 100 minutes.

The Faculty and Faculty Advising

All members of the faculty share personally and
actively in the responsibility for providing stu-
dents with educational, career, and personal
guidance. One of the hallmarks of a Jesuit
education is the personal interest each teacher
takes in students; the teacher tries to know each
individual student's strengths and weaknesses.
This tradition is basic to Fairfield. Classes are
not large, and there are ample opportunities for
close student-teacher relationships. Members
of the faculty make themselves available for
informal discussions, advice, and encourage-
ment well beyond their published office hours.

Educational Policies and General Regulations

Academic Grades

A — Outstanding achievement

B — Superior level of achievement

C — Acceptable level of achievement with
course material

D — Minimal achievement, but passing

F — Unacceptable level of achievement;
course must be repeated to obtain credit

A "plus" ( + ) may be added to grades of B or C
to indicate work performed at the top of that
range.

A "minus" (-) may be added to grades A, B, or
C to indicate work performed below that range.

Quality points and numerical equivalency for
these grades are as follows:

Quality Numerical

Points Equivalent

A 4.00 93-100

A semester's grade normally will be determined
according to the following procedure:

The semester's work (examinations, quizzes,
recitations, and out-of-class assignments) will
establish approximately two-thirds of the grade,
the final examination establishing approxi-
mately one-third of the grade. If a professor
chooses a method other than the established
procedure, the following criteria must be met:

a) The students must be informed in writing at
the beginning of the semester as to the
procedure in determining the grade for the
course.

b) A memorandum must be submitted in writ-
ing to the departmental chair and the appro-
priate Dean at the beginning of each
semester.

In addition to the foregoing academic grades
which indicate the quality of student perform-
ance, several other notations may appear on a
student's grade report.

An "I" (Incomplete) is issued when, due to an
emergency situation such as illness, a student
prearranges with the professor to complete
some of the course requirements after the
semester ends. All course work must be com-
pleted within 60 days after the end of the
semester. Any "Incompletes" still outstanding
after the 60 day extension will become
"Failures."

Withdrawal from Courses

A notation of "W" (Withdrawal) indicates that a
student has withdrawn from a course. After the
drop/add period (the first week of classes), with-
drawal will be permitted only with the approval of
a Dean when an emergency, such as illness,
prevents a student from completing course re-
quirements. Withdrawal will not be permitted
simply to prevent receipt of a grade that might
not meet the student's satisfaction.

Educational Policies and General Regulations

Academic Advancement

For academic advancement from year to year in
good standing, it is not enough that the student
merely pass all courses; in addition, he or she
must maintain a quality standard that is compu-
ted from quality points, Q.R The number of
quality points earned by each grade is ex-
plained above (e.g., A earns 4 quality points;
A- earns 3.67 quality points, etc.). To deter-
mine a weighted quality point average, the num-
ber of semester-hour credits is multiplied by the
quality points earned and the total divided by
the number of credits attempted.

For advancement in good standing from
freshman to sophomore year, a student must
have a weighted quality point average of 1.8; to
advance to junior year a Q.R average of 1.9; to
senior year a Q.R of 2.0.

Students who do not meet the foregoing stan-
dards will be ineligible to continue study until
they have raised their averages to the required
level by approved summer study.

Students in the School of Nursing must meet
University promotion policy requirements. In ad-
dition, to remain in the nursing major, students
must meet promotion policy requirements es-
tablished by the School of Nursing. These are
available in the School of Nursing Office.

Academic Probation

A student whose Q.R. average for a single
semester falls below 1.8 is considered to be on
probation.

Students on probation should recognize that
their previous semester's work has not been
satisfactory and that a continuation of such
performance will result in academic failure.

Eligibility for
Non-Academic Activities

When at the end of a semester a student's
cumulative average falls to a level that is below
the average necessary for entrance into the
academic year in which he or she is enrolled,
the student will be ineligible to represent the
University in intercollegiate athletics (club or
varsity), including cheerleading for these sports;
and must terminate his/her relationship with any
club, sport, or other organization.

Academic Failure

Students who incur an academic failure in any
of the following classifications will be asked to
withdraw from the University:

1. A student who at the end of a semester is
deficient in three or more courses.

2. A student who at the end of an academic
year is deficient in three or more courses.

3. A student who fails to meet the Quality Point
Average required for advancement as noted
above.

4. A student on probation for two consecutive
semesters.

Those who are asked to withdraw from the
University for academic failure will lose all enti-
tlement to financial aid.

Readmission

After at least one semester of study elsewhere,
a dismissed student may apply for readmission
if his/her deficiencies have been cleared and
Quality Roint Average requirements met. Such
readmission will be at the discretion of the
appropriate Dean. (Students must have the
Dean's approval for courses taken elsewhere.)

In certain cases students may be readmitted to
repeat a previous semester's work without inter-
ruption of attendance. Such permission may be
granted when a student makes a complete
change of school or major field. The decision to
allow such repetition is solely that of the appro-
priate Dean or Deans. In that event the student
forfeits credits gained during the previous
semester of attendance.

Educational Policies and General Regulations

Recommendations

Recommendations for graduate or professional
schools may be sought from individual profes-
sors or a department chair. Students who are
considering medical, dental, or allied health
science careers must be recommended by the
Health Sciences Recommendations Committee.

Dean's List

To qualify for the Dean's List, a student must
have attained a semester Q.R average of 3.50.

Alpha Sigma Nu

Alpha Sigma Nu, the national Jesuit Honor
Society, serves to reward and encourage schol-
arship, loyalty, and service to the ideals of Jesuit
higher education. To be nominated for member-
ship, undergraduate students must have scho-
lastic rank in the top 15% of the members of
their class, must have demonstrated a proven
concern for others through involvement in extra-
curricular activities and service to the Univer-
sity, and must have manifested a true concern
and commitment to the values and goals of the
Society. The Fairfield chapter was reactivated in
1981 and includes outstanding seniors who are
encouraged to promote service to the University
and provide greater understanding of the Jesuit
ideals of education among the University com-
munity.

Degree Requirements

At the time of graduation, a student will normally
have attained at least 120 credits, and at least
40 courses, but no simple accumulation of
credits is prescribed to qualify for a degree at
Fairfield. Rather the student is expected to have
completed with success all of the assigned
courses which constitute the curriculum of his
or her choice.

A Q.R average of 2.0 overall and in one's major
is required for graduation.

Honors at graduation are awarded for the follow-
ing weighted Q.R averages computed for the
four years' work:

Summa cum laude 3.85
Magna cum laude 3.70
Cum laude 3.50

Summer Study

With the approval of one's Academic Dean, a
student may take a maximum of two courses per
summer session.

Educational Policies and General Regulations

Academic Honesty

Fairfield University's major purpose is the pur-
suit of academic excellence. Teaching and
learning must occur in an atmosphere of mutual
trust and respect. Such trust and respect can be
developed and maintained only if truth and
honesty prevail in the academic community.
Moreover, it is the shared responsibility of all
members of the University community to main-
tain this climate of honesty. Administrators, fac-
ulty, and students all benefit from the pursuit of
academic excellence in an environment charac-
terized by integrity, honesty, and mutual re-
spect. Such community integrity is fundamental
to. and an inherent part of, Jesuit education.

In keeping with this need for community integ-
rity, students are expected to be honest in their
academic work. The University reserves the
right to penalize any student whose academic
conduct at any time is, in its judgment, detri-
mental to the University.

Acts of Dishonesty

Students are sometimes unsure of what consti-
tutes academic honesty. In all academic work,
students are expected to submit materials that
are their own. Examples of dishonest conduct
include but are not limited to:

• cheating, i.e., copying examination answers
from materials such as crib notes or another
student's paper.

• collusion, i.e., working with another person or
persons when independent work is prescribed.

• inappropriate use of notes.

• falsification or fabrication of an assigned
project, data, results, or sources.

• giving, receiving, offering, or soliciting infor-
mation in examinations.

• utilization of previously prepared materials in
examinations, tests, or quizzes.

• destruction or alteration of the work of another
student.

• the multiple submission of the same paper or
report for assignments in more than one course
without the prior written permission of each
instructor.

• plagiarism, the appropriation of information,
ideas, or the language of other persons or
writers and the submission of them as one's
own to satisfy the requirements of a course.
Plagiarism thus constitutes both theft and de-
ceit. Assignments (compositions, term papers,
computer programs, etc.) acquired either in part
or in whole from commercial sources or from
other students and submitted as one's own
original work, will be considered plagiarism.

• the unauthorized recording, sale, or use of
lectures and other instructional materials.

In the event of such dishonesty, professors are
to award a grade of zero for the project, paper or
examination in question, and may record an "F"
for the course itself. When appropriate, expul-
sion may be recommended. Moreover, a nota-
tion of the event is made in the student's file in
the Academic Dean's office. Any faculty mem-
ber encountering an academic offense such as,
but not limited to, those listed above, will file a
written report with his or her Dean, indicating
reasons for believing the student has committed
an academic offense, and indicating the pro-
posed academic sanction. The student will re-
ceive a copy. (If the student is in a school other
than that of the faculty member, a copy will be
sent to the Dean of the student's school.) The
student may, within 30 days following receipt of
the faculty member's letter, request that the
Dean investigate the allegations and meet with
the party (parties) involved. The Dean will issue
a written determination within two weeks of the
meeting, with copies to the student(s) and to the
professor. If the student requests an appeal
to the Academic Vice-President, an Aca-
demic Dishonesty Advisory Committee will be
convened.

Educational Policies and General Regulations

Academic Grievance

The purpose of procedures for review of aca-
demic grievances is to protect the rights of
students, faculty, and the University by provid-
ing mechanisms for equitable problem solving.

A "grievance" is defined as a complaint of
unfair treatment for which a specific remedy is
sought. It excludes circumstances which may
give rise to a complaint for which explicit re-
dress is neither called for nor sought, or for
which other structures within the University
serve as an agency for resolution.

Academic grievances either relate to procedural
appeals or to academic competence appeals.

Procedural appeals are defined as those seek-
ing a remedy where no issue of the quality of the
student's work is involved. For example, a stu-
dent might contend that the professor failed to
follow previously announced mechanisms of
evaluation.

Academic competence appeals are defined as
those seeking a remedy because the evaluation
of the quality of a student's work in a course is
disputed.

"Remedies" would include but not be limited to
awarded grade changes, such as permission to
take make-up examinations or to repeat courses
without penalty.

The procedures defined here must be initiated
within a reasonable period (usually a semester)
after the event which is the subject of the
grievance.

Informal Procedure

Step one: The student attempts to resolve any
academic grievance with the faculty member,
Department Chair, or other individual or agency
involved. If, following this initial attempt at reso-
lution, the student remains convinced that a
grievance exists, she/he advances to step two.

Step two: The student consults the Chair, or
other individuals when appropriate, bringing
written documentation of the process up to this
point. If the student continues to assert that a
grievance exists after attempted reconciliation,
she/he advances to step three.

Step three: The student presents the grievance
to the Dean of the involved school, bringing to
this meeting documentation of steps one and
two. If the Dean's attempts at mediation prove
unsuccessful, the student is informed of the
right to initiate formal review procedures.

Formal Procedure

Step one: If the student still believes that the
grievance remains unresolved following these
informal procedures, she/he initiates the formal
review procedure by making a written request
for a formal hearing through the Dean to the
Academic Vice-President. Such a request
should define the grievance and be accompa-
nied by documentation of completion of the
informal process. It should also be accompa-
nied by the Dean's opinion of the grievance.

Step two: The Academic Vice-President deter-
mines whether the grievance merits further at-
tention. If not, the student is so informed. If so,
the Academic Vice-President determines
whether it is a procedural or competence ap-
peal. If it relates to procedural matter, she/
he selects a Dean (other than the Dean of
the involved school) to chair a Grievance
Committee.

If it relates to an academic competence matter,
the Academic Vice-President requests from the
Dean involved the name of two outside experts
to serve as a consultant panel in determining
the merit of the student's grievance.

Educational Policies and General Regulations

Step three: For procedural appeals, the
Grievance Committee takes whatever steps are
deemed appropriate to render a recommenda-
tion for resolving the grievance. The Committee
adheres to due process procedures analogous
to those in the Faculty Handbook.

For competence appeals, the Academic Vice-
President contacts the outside panel members
and requests that they review the case in rela-
tion to its content validity.

Step four: The recommendation from either the
Grievance Committee or the panel is forwarded
to the Academic Vice-President in written form,
accompanied, if necessary, by any supporting
data that formed the basis of the recommenda-
tion.

Step five: The Academic Vice-President renders
a final and binding judgment, notifying all in-
volved parties. If the grievance involves a dis-
pute over a course grade given by a faculty
member, the Academic Vice-President is the
only University official empowered to change
that grade, and then only at the recommenda-
tion of the committee or panel.

Mki t\\ ^-ki :

Absences

Freshmen are expected to attend every sched-
uled class. Excessive cuts from class are those
that during a semester exceed twice the number
of credits given for the course. For sophomores
and upperclassmen, attendance is left to their
own discretion except when professors specify
differently. Faculty may recommend to the Dean
that credit be withheld from a student who has
incurred an excessive number of cuts in the
course.

Unless there are serious reasons for absence
on the day of an examination or a quiz, a grade
of zero will be given for the missed work. A
student may be excused from an examination
for reasons beyond his or her control. In such
cases, documentation must be provided. A stu-
dent who misses an examination due to illness
may wish to present an excuse from the Univer-
sity's health services or a private physician. In
either case the excuse is submitted to the
faculty. If rejected, the student may appeal to
his/her Academic Dean.

Withdrawal from University

Any student who withdraws voluntarily will be
granted honorable dismissal only under the
following conditions:

1. The student must not be already liable to
dismissal for deficiencies, excessive ab-
sence, or misconduct.

2. The student must discuss intentions with the
Dean of the school, and, if so instructed,
must submit the request for withdrawal in
writing from his or her parents or guardian.

3. The student must have settled all financial
accounts with the University.

A student planning to withdraw should consult
the Dean of his or her school, who will provide a
form and directions that will clear his or her
status with all interested offices.

Students granted honorable dismissal may re-
quest refund of tuition (but not of special fees)
according to the schedule outlined in the Uni-
versity catalogue.

Educational Policies and General Regulations

Transcripts

Application for transcripts should be addressed
to the Registrar's office and should state the
name and address of the official to whom the
transcript is to be mailed. In accordance with
the general practice of colleges and univer-
sities, complete official transcripts are sent
directly by the University, not transmitted by the
applicant. Transcripts will not be processed
during examination and registration periods.
Requests for transcripts should be made one
week in advance of the date they are needed.

Student Records

Under the Family Educational Rights and
Privacy Act passed by Congress in 1974, legiti-
mate access to student records has been de-
fined. A student at Fairfield University has the
right to see any records which directly pertain to
the student. Excluded by statute from inspection
is the parents' confidential statement given to
the Financial Aid Office and medical records
supplied by a physician.

A listing of records maintained, their location,
and the means of reviewing them is available in
the Office of Student Services. Information con-
tained in student files is available to others using
the guidelines below:

a) Confirmation of directory information is
available to recognized organizations and
agencies. Such information includes name,
date of birth, dates of attendance, address.

b) Summary of behavioral records and copies
of transcripts will be provided to anyone
upon written request of the student. Cost of
providing such information must be as-
sumed by the student.

c) All other information excluding medical
records is available to staff members of the
university on a need-to-know basis; i.e.,
prior to the release of additional information,
a staff member must prove his or her need to
know information to the office responsible
for maintaining the records.

Educational Leave of Absence

Study at another institution will receive aca-
demic transfer credit only if a student is eligible
and if the program has received advance ap-
proval from the student's Academic Dean.

To be considered eligible for such study, stu-
dents must complete the Educational Leave of
Absence form before March 1 for the fall semes-
ter or October 15 for the spring semester, have a
Q.RA. of 2.5 or above, and be in good academic
standing for the semester immediately preced-
ing their application.

Credit will be granted only for specific work
successfully completed in educational pro-
grams whose quality has been approved by the
University. Such programs will include those
sponsored by other American institutions and
endorsed by the issuance of their own tran-
scripts. In special cases enrollment in foreign
universities will be permitted, but students are
warned that variations in calendar, method of
grading, and form of transcript may limit the
transfer of course work.

Fairfield University has a formal arrangement
with the Rome Center of Loyola University of
Chicago and with the International Student
Exchange Program.

THE
CURRICULA

Ovy The Curricula

The Curricula

General Education
Core Curriculum

The goal of a Fairfield education is to develop —
in each student — the whole person: an intellec-
tual being who can think clearly, accurately,
dispassionately; a social being who cares about
others and takes one's place in the world with
them; a physical being who knows the laws,
limitations, and beauty of the natural world; a
spiritual being who seeks to make one's life
express the truths of religion and philosophy.

Because Fairfield believes that a liberal educa-
tion can achieve this goal, the University has
developed a general education core curriculum
which all undergraduates must take to acquire a
broad background in all academic areas. No
matter what the student's major or field of spe-
cialization, during the years at Fairfield he or
she will take from two to five courses in each of
five areas.

Within the framework of these five areas, each
student has a number of options so that fulfilling
the requirement can become a stimulating and
enjoyable experience while providing the
breadth of knowledge necessary for further
studies, and for life as a well-educated human
being.

Options within the Core Curriculum

>Area /; Mathematics and Natural Sciences

(1) 2 semesters of mathematics. At least one
semester must include a course containing
some calculus (MA 10, 19, 21, 25, or 17). A
sophomore or upper division course may be
used with approval of the department.

(2) 2 semesters of a natural science. Any two
courses in any of the natural sciences fulfill
this requirement.

Area II: History and Social Sciences

(1) 2 semesters of history. Hi 30 and one other
below 100 level introductory course. Also
available as an option in this area is CL 115-
116 (Greek and Roman Civilization).

(2) 2 semesters in one or two of the social
sciences.

NOTE: For majors in the social sciences,
courses in the department in which they are
majoring cannot be used to fulfill the social
science requirement in the core.

Area III: Philosophy and Religious Studies

(1) 2 semesters of philosophy. PH 10 is re-
quired.

(2) 2 semesters of religious studies. RS 10 is
required.

(3) 1 additional course in either philosophy or
religious studies.

yArea IV: English and Fine Arts

(1) 3 semesters of English. EN 11-12 are re-
quired. The third course may be selected
from any of the English literature offerings
which have a number designation of 200 or
over. Writing courses (ENA/V) do not fulfill the
core literature requirement. Also available
as options in this area are courses offering
classical literature in translation. (See list-
ings under Greek and Roman Studies.)

(2) 2 semesters of fine arts. One semester must
be in the area of art history, music history,
theatre history, or film history.

Area V: Modern and Classical Languages

(1) 2 semesters (at least at the intermediate
level) of any language listed among the
offerings of the Modern Languages Depart-
ment or the Greek and Roman Studies
Program.

Electives

All students in B.A. programs must have a
minimum of eight free electives; students in
B.S. programs must have a minimum of four
free electives, except in the School of Nursing
where two are required. These electives may be
chosen in any area of study, presuming pre-
requisites are met, and cannot be determined or
required by any Department or School.

The Curricula

University Course
Numbering System

Undergraduate
01-99 Introductory courses

1 00-1 99 Intermediate courses without
prerequisites

200-299 Intermediate courses with

300-399 Advanced courses, normally limited
to juniors and seniors and open to
graduate students with permission

Graduate

400-499 Graduate courses (open to under-
graduate students with permission)

500-599 Graduate courses

Choice of Curriculum

Descriptions of the various curricula will be
found in the college and school sections and,
where appropriate, under the discipline head-
ing. It is to be noted that in each curriculum the
proper work of the major, or field of specializa-
tion, is concentrated in the junior and senior
years; where preparatory courses are needed,
they are taken in the freshman and/or sopho-
more year For the student who desires a curric-
ulum involving an ordered sequence of courses
(natural sciences, accounting, mathematics) the
initial choice of program is advantageous; for
the student who is not so determined, it should
be noted the freshman and sophomore courses
provide a solid basis and background for any
subsequent decision to major in such areas as
economics, English, history, and languages.

Honors Program

The Honors Program at Fairfield University of-
fers the exceptional student a unique opportu-
nity to participate in an interdisciplinary
seminar, which integrates the depth of his or her
field and the breadth of the many disciplines
studied in the core curriculum. The Honors
Program thus provides a context within which
the student, working closely with several faculty
members, may synthesize the aims of a liberal
education.

Under the direction of two faculty members
each semester, the seminar explores two histori-
cal periods from the diverse perspectives of the
humanities and the natural and social sciences.
These disciplines serve as lenses which focus
the periods under consideration, forming
thereby a comprehensive picture of these eras.

A theme pertinent to both historical periods
unifies the year's study; the theme and historical
periods addressed in the seminar changes from
year to year. In 1984-85, for example, the theme
was "The City: the Many Faces of Urban Civili-
zation," and the seminar studied Renaissance
Florence and New York City in the 20th century.
In 1985-86 the theme will be "Russia and
America: Times of Turmoil, Times of Change,"
and the seminar will study the Russian Revolu-
tion and American society between World War II
and the war in Vietnam.

The Honors Program, in addition, sponsors at-
tendance at cultural events in the New York-New
Haven area such as theatre, ballet, opera, and
museum exhibitions. Occasionally participants
in the program, students and faculty, meet so-
cially to discuss their shared interest in the
seminar's subject matter.

The Curricula

Enrollment in the seminar is normally limited to
15 students. Students entering their third or
fourth year who have attained a Q.P.A. of 3.5 or
better may apply. In extraordinary circum-
stances the Honors Committee will consider the
admission of students who do not meet the
Q.P.A. requirement but who otherwise demon-
strate exceptional intellectual promise. Appli-
cants must submit to the Director a copy of their
academic transcript and the names of two fac-
ulty referees who are familiar with their work.
The Honors Committee will interview the appli-
cants. All acceptances will be made by the
Honors Committee.

The seminar meets twice a week. The first
weekly session will be devoted to a formal
lecture, delivered by Fairfield or visiting faculty;
the second to substantive discussion of the
lecture and readings.

A final grade, which carries nine credits, will be
assigned at the end of the academic year. The
grade for the six-credit seminar is determined by
the four professors who teach in the program
and reflects the student's entire work in the
seminar. The remaining three credits are given
for the major research project, which normally
addresses issues during the periods under con-
sideration which fall within the student's major
discipline. Each student will choose an advisor
from his or her major field of study who will act
as a resource person for the research project
and preside at the student's oral presentation to
the seminar.

The student will receive a special honors desig-
nation on his or her academic transcript if the
final grade for the seminar and independent
project is B + or better.

Minors

In addition to carrying a major, a student may
exercise the option of selecting a minor outside
the area of specialization. A minor is a cluster of
thematically related courses drawn from one or
more departments, usually in the range of 15 to
18 credits. Students electing a minor are still
required to fulfill the core requirement. Exam-
ples of minors available at Fairfield are the
international studies, Latin American and Carib-
bean Studies, and applied ethics. With appro-
priate consultation and advisement, students
may develop minor programs suited to their
needs.

Since the minor is considered to be a supple-
ment to the student's major program of study, its
completion in a given case may not have the
same priority as that of a major. In order to
select a minor, a student must fill out the appro-
priate form, and then have it approved by his/her
School or Department and placed on file with
the University Registrar. The completion of the
minor is subject to the availability of the course
selected.

Double Majors

A graduating student will be credited with a
second major if he or she has successfully
completed 24 upper division credits not already
counted for the first major.

Student Internships

Purpose

The purpose of internship programs is to pro-
vide students with the opportunity of earning a
maximum of six academic credits for experi-
ence in the public or private sector which has
relevance to their academic major. It is expected
that the internship will be mutually beneficial to
both the students and the organization in which
they are involved. As a cooperative effort, the
internship experience should allow students an
opportunity for the practical application of the
principles and theories they are learning in their
major field of study. The internship will not
substitute for any other stated course(s) in the
student's major field.

Eligibility

1. Students may normally undertake an intern-
ship only after completion of the junior year
of study.

Students must be in good academic stand-
ing as defined by the individual school in
which they are pursuing their major.

Students must obtain approval to register for
an internship from the designated faculty
member or administrator in their Depart-
ment or School, from whom they will receive
more complete information on requirements
and opportunities.

Writing Center

The Writing Center provides advice and assist-
ance to undergraduate and graduate students
for any writing project. Staffed by faculty and
local professional writers, the Center helps stu-
dents with course papers, resumes, profes-
sional and graduate school essays, and any
other writing tasks students may pursue. The
Center is open during both daytime and evening
hours for fall and spring semesters by appoint-
ment or for "drop-in" assistance.

The Curricula

School of Business

Programs leading to the Bachelor of Science
degree are offered by the School of Business in
five major areas: accounting, computer informa-
tion systems, finance, management, and
marketing. Minors are available to all students in
the School of Business in four areas: computer
applications, information systems, international
business (offered jointly with the international
studies minor of the College of Arts and
Sciences and the Graduate School of Corporate
and Political Communication), and quantitative
analysis. Building upon a strong foundation in
the humanities, mathematics, social sciences,
and natural sciences, students are provided
with a general core of knowledge and skills to
equip them to understand the modern organiza-
tional environment and to function effectively
within it.

School of Nursing

The School of Nursing offers a curriculum lead-
ing to the Bachelor of Science degree with a
major in nursing. This curriculum is designed to
provide the opportunity for qualified individuals
to prepare for professional practice in beginning
positions, to provide the foundation for contin-
ued formal study in nursing, and to enhance
growth toward maturity as individuals, citizens,
and professionals. Graduates of this program
are eligible for examination for licensure as
registered nurses.

Degrees Offered

The College of Arts and Sciences, Fairfield's
oldest and largest college, offers two degree
programs: Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of
Science.

Bachelor of Arts

The Bachelor of Arts is a liberal arts degree with
emphasis on the humanities.

Major concentrations in the B.A. degree pro-
gram include American studies, economics,
English, fine arts (visual design, theatre arts, art
history, studio art, music), history, modern lan-
guages (French, German, Spanish), philosophy,
politics, psychology, religious studies, and so-
ciology.

Students who have studied Latin in high school
and who wish to continue their classical studies
through two years of college may earn a Bache-
lor of Arts with Classics degree, even though
they do not intend a classics major.

Bachelor of Science

The Bachelor of Science is a liberal arts degree
with an emphasis in the sciences.

Major concentrations in the B.S. degree pro-
gram include biology, chemistry, engineering,
mathematics, computer science, physics, and
psychology. The concentration in biology pro-
vides well beyond the minimum requirements
recommended by the Association of American
Medical Colleges for admission to medical
school.

Because the four-year programs for the B.S.
degree depend upon the student's major con-
centration, these programs are shown under the
appropriate departmental listings which follow.

Specialized Programs in the
College of Arts and Sciences

In addition to the traditional major concentra-
tions, the College of Arts and Sciences offers
specialized programs and academic services.

Pre-Professional Programs: Fairfield offers a
challenging, competitive, and highly successful
premedical/predental program. Students in this
program pursue studies in a field of their per-
sonal interest while taking those courses neces-
sary for admission to medical or dental school.
The program is supervised by an interdisci-
plinary group of faculty who serve as special
advisors to these students.

In addition, Fairfield University and the George-
town School of Dentistry offer highly motivated
high school seniors a seven-year combined
Degree Program in Dental Education. The first
three years are spent at Fairfield and the re-
maining four at Georgetown. Enrollment is limi-
ted.

Fairfield's pre-law program has been consist-
ently successful over the past decade. In-
terested students are encouraged to take those
courses in the liberal arts, business, and inter-
disciplinary areas which will develop the read-
ing, writing, and analytical skills needed in law
school. The program is closely supervised by
faculty who serve as special advisors to pre-law
students.

Education: Students who plan to teach in sec-
ondary schools will major in the discipline that
they plan to teach and take the required educa-
tion courses to qualify for certification as high
school teachers.

Cooperative Program in Engineering: In coopera-
tion with the University of Connecticut, Fairfield
University provides a five-year engineering pro-
gram that emphasizes both a liberal education
and professional preparation. A student in this
program interrelates the course sequences with
three engineering courses at Fairfield and four
liberal arts electives at the University of
Connecticut.

College of Arts and Sciences

American Studies: This is an interdisciplinary
program that examines American civilization
through a combination of courses in English,
history, politics, philosophy, and sociology.

Applied Ethics: This is an interdisciplinary pro-
gram in the several fields of applied, profes-
sional, and business ethics.

Inter-Institutional Courses: Under a reciprocal
agreement, full-time students at the University
of Bridgeport, Fairfield University and Sacred
Heart University may take certain courses at
any one of the institutions without payment of
any additional fees other than those paid the
matriculating institution, providing:

1. The course is not currently offered by Fair-
field University.

2. It is on an approved list indicating its avail-
ability to Fairfield University students.

3. The student has prior permission from his or
her Dean to take the course.

4. Tuition commitments have been met in full at
Fairfield University.

5. Students observe all regulations of the host
institution.

Study Abroad: Qualified students are permitted
to study abroad in a number of settings. Fair-
field, in cooperation with Loyola University of
Chicago, offers study abroad at the Loyola Uni-
versity Rome Center of Liberal Arts. A formal
arrangement exists with the International Stu-
dent Exhange Program and study is possible in
approved programs conducted by other Ameri-
can universities. An advisor is available to pro-
vide information about these programs and to
coordinate studies at Fairfield with programs
abroad. Study Abroad is usually undertaken for
either a semester or full year during the junior
year. Approval of the Dean is required. Students
must have a Q.P.A. of 2.5 or above, and must
complete the Educational Leave of Absence
Form before March 1 for the fall semester or
October 15 for the spring semester. See section
in this catalogue on academic leaves of ab-
sence, page 27.

Internships: Internships provide the opportunity
for practical experience in a career field related
to a student's major. Most departments of the
College of Arts and Sciences — such as eco-
nomics, politics, sociology, and fine arts — offer
credit for internships in appropriate agencies
and business firms. Majors who wish to take
advantage of these opportunities should consult
their department Chair.

Minors: A number of departments in the college
offer minors as well as majors. Interdisciplinary
minors are available in applied ethics, communi-
cation arts, international studies, and Latin
American and Caribbean Studies. For further
information, contact the department Chair or
Program Director.

Honors Program: The College of Arts and
Sciences participates in the University Honors
Program (described earlier under "Curricula")
for those undergraduates who have distin-
guished themselves in their studies. Eligible
students choosing to pursue honors designation
are required to conduct a research project
under the supervision of a faculty member.
Students are also required to meet in a bi-
weekly interdisciplinary seminar. Successful
completion of the Honors Program is recorded
on the graduating student's transcript.

Double Majors: Students enrolled in the College
of Arts and Sciences, and maintaining a satis-
factory academic average, may elect to pursue
a double major prior to the conclusion of their
sophomore year. A specific program of study
must be proposed which will satisfy the require-
ments of both majors as well as all core require-
ments. Written approval must be obtained from
the Chairs of the departments in question and
from the Dean. Upon successful completion of
the proposed course of study, a double major
will be indicated on the student's transcript. A
graduating student will be credited with a sec-
ond major if he or she has successfully com-
pleted 24 upper division credits not already
counted for the first major.

(English)

The American Studies program provides the
student with an interdisciplinary curriculum
devoted to the examination of American civiliza-
tion — its culture, institutions, intellectual tradi-
tion, and the relationships of its people. Such a
course of study makes possible a unified and
comprehensive approach to American life and
thought. Besides the thematic unity implicit in
such a course of studies, the student will be
exposed to the methodological differences
which characterize the traditional scholarly dis-
ciplines as they deal with the infinite complex-
ities of the American experience.

Requirements for a 30-credit major in American
Studies are:

12 credits in discipline concentration. The stu-
dent may concentrate in one of the follow-
ing: history, literature, philosophy, political
science, or sociology.

12 credits to be selected from American-
oriented courses in disciplines other than
the discipline concentration. The student
must select at least three different
disciplines.

3 credits. Research/Theme Course. Senior
year.

encouraged to integrate different intellectual disci-
plines in the design and realization of their project.

3 semester hours

AS 102 The American Intellectual Tradition

This course is a seminar on major ideas and themes
which have helped shape American life. A conscious
effort is made to demonstrate the interaction between
intellectual, social, and cultural dynamics in the forma-
tion of America. 3 semester tiours

AS 121 Business in America: A Cultural
Historical Perspective

This course will examine the evolution of America from
an agrarian to an industrial society. The topics covered
include: the philosophical assumptions of capitalism,
the progressive economic stages of capitalism, the
myth and reality of the entrepreneurial age, the rise of
bureaucracies, and the technological revolution.
These topics will be viewed from the diverse perspec-
tives of poets, economists, sociologists, novelists,
theologians, and dramatists. 3 semester tiours

AS 125 American Labor: Image and Reality

This course employs an historical mode in its investi-
gation of the American labor movement. Through the
years, American working men and women have ad-
justed to the changing economic environment. This
course will focus upon the emergence of trade un-
ionism and the concept of collective bargaining as
protective devices employed by the working force in
an industrial and bureaucratic environment. Besides
tracing the evolution of trade unionism, the course will
also explore the impact of various media in shaping
attitudes toward trade unionism. 3 semester hours

AS 127 America in Film

This course provides a critical examination of impor-
tant American films with the intention of exploring the
impact of film as a myth-making medium. Some of the

religion in the history of American letters. Beginning
with the moral didacticism of early Puritan literature,
the American writer has manifested a persistent con-
cern with religio-ethical matters as well as the impact
of religious institutions in shaping our social and
cultural environment. Using literary texts by major
American writers, the course evaluates both the criti-
cal perspective and relevance of the imaginative writ-
er's treatment of religious questions.

Program in

Applied Ethics

Director: Newton

Participant Faculty: Burns {Religious Studies);
Carr, Newton (Philosophy); A. Katz, Orman
(Politics); Ryba (Business); Obrig (Nursing);

The Program in Applied Ethics is an integrated
set of team-taught interdisciplinary courses,
seminars, lectures, colloquia, and workshops in
the fields of business ethics, ethics of health
care, ethics of science, ethics in law, and ethics
in government. Its unified approach to the
theory and practice of ethical conduct is de-
signed to raise the student's level of awareness
of the moral dilemmas of his or her chosen field
of practice, of allied fields, and of the society as
a whole. The program, which received its initial
impetus from a grant from the National Endow-
ment for the Humanities, now offers a series of
core-level and elective courses and seminars,
and a 15-credit minor.

Requirements for a minor in applied ethics:

1. Core credits in Area III should include a
philosophy course that emphasizes ethics,
a religious studies course that emphasizes
moral theology, and one intermediate level
(200) course in applied ethics.

2. Beyond the core, courses should include:

a. 6-9 credits in intermediate AE courses
(AE 285, AE 286, AE 291, AE 295,

Department of

Biology

Professors: Combs, Rice, Ross
Associate Professors: Bongiorno (Chair),

Braun, Brousseau
Assistant Professor: M. Barone
Lecturer: Hope-Ross
Adjunct Faculty: Blogoslawski, Cassell, Oster

The Biology curriculum seeks to prepare stu-
dents for future professional work in the life and
health sciences. During the first two years of the
program, the Department requires General
Biology I and II (Bl 91, Bl 92), Genetics (Bl 221),
Ecology (Bl 260) and two semesters each of
inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, general
physics, and calculus. During the last two years,
a minimum of four additional courses within the
department are required. These are to be
selected from four blocks of courses, which
represent basic areas of biology One elective
from each of the following blocks is required.

Molecular Biology: Microbiology (Bl 252),
Molecular Biology: The Nucleus (Bl 254),
Molecular Biology: Cytoplasmic Organelles
(Bl 255), Immunology (Bl 256), General Virology
(Bl 257).

Morphological & Developmental Biology: Com-
parative Anatomy (Bl 202), Histology (Bl 231),
Embryology (Bl 242).

Organismal Biology: Plant Science (Bl 214),
Marine Invertebrate Zoology (Bl 262), Coral
Reef Ecology (Bl 263), Ornithology (Bl 264),
Entomology (Bl 265), Animal Behavior (Bl 267),
Marine Ecology (Bl 361), Marine Pollution (Bl
366).

Physiological Biology: Cell Physiology (Bl 211),
Mammalian Physiology (Bl 212), Endocrinology
(Bl 213), Plant Physiology (Bl 215).

The choice of block electives will vary according
to the student's career objective and interest.
Choices should be made after consultation with
appropriate advisors within the Department.
This would complete the Department's minimal
requirement for the B.S. degree and be suffi-
cient to produce a professional biologist. The
student has four electives beyond this point,
which can be additional block electives and/or
advanced electives within the Department, or
electives outside the Department. The elective
portion of the program is, therefore, subject to
individual modification based on the student's
career interest and faculty consultation. Thus,
students interested in molecular biology may
take an advanced course in molecular biology;
or those interested in medical or dental schools
may enroll in physical and quantitative inorganic
analysis as part of a chemistry minor; or stu-
dents interested in neurobiology may pursue a
double major in biology and psychology Similar
arrangements can be made for those interested
in forensic or environmental law, biomathe-
matics, biophysics, biocommunications, and
other areas.

The research interests of the faculty provide the
opportunity for qualified seniors to participate in
either laboratory or library investigations under
the guidance of a professor in the student's
chosen area of interest. Internships at off-
campus institutions can also be arranged for
qualified juniors and seniors. Thus, emphasis
on the individual is found not only in the elective
program but also in independent study

College of Arts and Sciences
Biology

The biology department also offers two concen-
trations beyond the normal biology major. One is
in marine science and the other in molecular
biology. Both require a minimum of four courses
in the area of specialization. The special re-
quirements of each concentration are as fol-
lows:

1 ) Biology Major with a Concentration in Marine
Science. The student will be required to take
four courses from the following group: Intro-
duction to Marine Science (Bl 78), Marine
Invertebrate Zoology (Bl 262), Coral Reef
Ecology (Bl 263), Marine Research (Bl 298),
Marine Ecology (Bl 361) and Biology of
Marine Pollution (Bl 366). One of the four
courses may be used to satisfy the Organis-
mal Biology block requirement. Arrange-
ments can be made for the substitution of a
marine internship (Bl 397-398). An ex-
change program can be arranged for stu-
dents interested in tropical marine biology.
Interested students should consult with Dr.
Diane Brousseau.

2) Biology Major with a Concentration in Molec-
ular Biology. The student will be required to
take four courses from the following group:

of classical (CH 222 or CH 240) and instrumental
methods of analysis (CH 326 or CH 240) with a
general exposure to problem solving using a variety of
physical and chemical methods. During the early
portion of this course, an effort will be made to
consolidate the principles of analytical chemistry that
students have learned in the classroom into a holistic
understanding of the area of analytical chemistry; this
framework is intended to give the student a further
appreciation of the general considerations which must
be made in designing an approach to solving a
problem in analysis. Some hands-on exposure will be
given to the following aspects of analytical chemistry:
basic electronics as appropriate to common instru-
mentation, methodology involved in equipment main-
tenance and trouble-shooting, exposure to solving real
world analytical problems, use of small computers and
interfaces in the laboratory. A major emphasis of the
course will be devoted to oral communication of re-
sults among all laboratory participants. Prerequisites:
CH 222 or CH 240, and CH 326 course.

As an academic discipline, the study of English
has these goals:

1) to acquaint the student with the various
types of imaginative literature, such as the
novel, the short story, poetry, and drama;

2) to increase the student's knowledge of the
development of English and American Liter-
ature and to examine cultural attitudes in a
changing world.

3) to develop the student's analytic and organi-
zational skills through the interpretation of
literature; and

4) to give the student further training in the
organization and effective articulation of
Ideas in writing, including in some cases
preparation for careers as professional writ-
ers or for careers where strong writing skills
will be an asset.

For English Majors, the English Department
offers two concentrations, one in Literature and
one in Writing. Both programs normally require
that the student take at least ten upper-division
courses (i.e., courses numbered at the 300-
level) after successful completion of EN 11 and
EN 12. The student can also register for dual
concentration by taking 12 courses, six in litera-
ture and six in writing. The English Department
places great importance on consultation, be-
tween the student and a departmental advisor of
the student's choice, especially during the
process of selecting courses.

The special requirements of each program are
as follows:

1) English Major with a Concentration in
Literature. A standard program will include
at least three three-hour courses dealing
with literature from periods prior to the year
1900. Students may select any English De-
partment offerings at the 300-level, and they
are urged to consult with a departmental
advisor in order to develop a coherent se-
quence of courses suitable to individual
needs and requirements.

2) English Major with a Concentration in
Writing. A standard program will include
four courses in literature selected from the
upper-division literature offerings of the
English Department, six courses in writing
selected from English courses marked with
the prefix "W," or other writing courses
approved by the Director of the Writing Con-
centration. Since the Writing Program offers
a broad spectrum of courses ranging from
poetry and fiction to journalism and script-
writing for television, it is urgent that each
student consult with a faculty advisor in
order to design a program that will reflect
the individual's needs.

EN 250 The Epic Hero

This course ranges from Homer to J.R.R. Tolkien. The

hero embodies the highest values of his society and
represents that society against the forces of chaos and
evil. Our focus, then, is on the changing image of the
hero, particularly as presented in the Iliad, the Ody-
ssey, the Aeneid, and The Lord of the Rings.

life.

Existential and absurd values will be used to confront
the following problems: human freedom vs. biological
and social determinism, the creation of life meaning
vs. the surrender to nothingness implicit in suicide,
belief in God vs. affirmation of a humanly centered
world, and contribution to society vs. nihilistic
withdrawal.

Emphasis will be placed on the perception that exis-
tentialism is a positive, even optimistic, philosophy of
life, that it is not nihilistic and pessimistic, as it is
sometimes misunderstood to be. Emphasis will also
be placed on the fact that existentialism is not neces-
sarily atheistic, that some of the prominent exponents

EN 369 Irish Literature

The purpose of this course will be to study the coming
together of many apparently unrelated phenomena
around the turn of the century to produce a unique and
most unlikely phenomenon: The Irish Literary Renais-
sance. Initially, the course pursues readings in Irish
history to firmly establish the background against
which the drama of the Renaissance was played. The
founders of the Abbey Theatre (Yeats. Lady Gregory,
Martyn) and the Abbey's greatest products (Synge and
O'Casey) will be read. The flowering of a poetry
inspired by peculiarly Irish feelings, and carried out by
a peculiarly Irish genius will then be read (Yeats,
Stephens. Colum, 'A.E.," Clarke, Campbell, and the
'16 poets). In narrative prose, Joyce. Stephens.
Moore. O'Kelly. MacNamara. O'Flaherty. O'Connor.
O'Faolain, Lavin, and Beckett will be considered.

The course concludes with an evaluation of this Ren-
aissance in terms of world literature, and a study of the

Carroll. O'Brien. Macken. Kavanagh. fvlcGahern, and
others). 3 semester hours

sons can then be made with more recent works: War
and Peace, Crime and Punishment, The Phaedra, The
Plague, Faustus, Metamorphosis. Contemporary writ-
ings will also be considered. 3 semester hours

by Miguel Cervantes. Tom Jones by Henry Fielding,

The program in Art History, consistent with the
humanistic traditions of Fairfield University, of-
fers students the opportunity to study the tradi-
tions of art as a major vehicle for human thought
and expression. The concentration in art history
focuses on man's visual heritage through
courses presenting the styles and themes of
Western culture. Art history is an excellent disci-
pline in preparation for a career in museum
work, arts administration, advertising, market-
ing, communication, teaching, or commercial
galleries and auction houses. In order to provide
students with practical experience, a number of
internships in these areas are available to quali-
fied students. The program emphasizes direct
student contact with works of art through a

FA 40 Introduction to Art I

This course presents the history of art from its prehis-
toric beginnings to the highly developed forms of
painting, sculpture, and architecture of the Gothic
Age. In this survey from the caves to the cathedrals,
we find how each civilization of the ancient and
medieval world developed innovative techniques and
artistic methods. This course teaches the basic con-
cepts required for an understanding of prehistoric,
Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Greek, Roman, and Early
Christian art. Includes visits to major New York art

FA 143 Renaissance Art

In its painting, architecture, and sculpture, we discover
the re-emergence of the individual will in Renaissance
society. Beginning with the new naturalism of Giotto
and continuing through the High Renaissance in
Rome with masterpieces by Bramante, Michelangelo,
and Raphael, the artist asserted his influence on court
and church. A social-economic focus is seen in the
rising status of the artist from guild-oriented craftsman
to the independent genius acting as the peer of dukes
and kings. 3 semester hours

FA 144 Baroque Art

The shift from a terracentric to a heliocentric universe
is demonstrated in the dynamic expressions of
Baroque art. Through the art of Caravaggio and
Rembrandt we sense a revolutionary painting style
which probes human emotions and studies the psy-
che. In the exhilarating sculpture of Bernini the viewer
enters into the artist's senses through a virtuoso
display of color, light and plastic form. The architec-
tural fantasies of Guarini, Longhena, and Borromini
project some of the most exotic monuments and
interiors of European civilization. The course attempts
to explain how the visual arts reacted and reflected the
theological and political upheavals of the 17th and
18th centuries. 3 semester hours

studied from the realist Courbet and Manet and their
contemporaries to the rebellious years of the Impres-
sionists. The 20th century is explored from the
Fauvists' explosion of color to the new spatial-physics
of Cubism under Picasso. The triumphs and failures of
modern civilization are documented in the experimen-
tal efforts of the Constructivists. Dadaists, Surrealists,
and Abstract Expressionists. A principal concern in
the course is the question: "What is the artist of the
1980"s telling us about our contemporary world?"

history. In addition, we will look at the development of
communication media such as film, TV, radio, and the

This course continues with the arts and architecture of
the Early Republic (see FA 152) and expands into the

artistic statements of American artists we take special
notice of unifying national myths such as: the Found-
ing Fathers, Manifest Destiny, America as the New
Eden, the Frontier from the Rockies to the Lunar
Surface, Heroes from Davy Crockett to Superman,
and America as Utopia. Through the masterpieces of
Church, Cole, Homer, Eakins, Sloan, Hopper, Pollock,
Rothko, Wyeth, Warhol, and Christo, we try to deter-
mine: "What is uniquely American about American
art?" 3 semester hours

Department of

History

Professors: Buczek, Danahar, M. McCarthy
Associate Professor: DeAngelis (Chair)
Assistant Professors: A. Abbott, W. Abbott,
Baehr, Costello, Davis, Kazura, J. Murphy, Retry

The Department of History introduces students
to the richness and complexity of the human
experience. The discipline of history trains stu-
dents to think historically; to research, analyze
and deal critically with evidence. To the histo-
rian, factual information is never an end in itself,
but a means to understanding that our own
times are what they are because of the past.
Those who major or minor in history receive a
broad preparation for entrance into graduate
school and the traditional professions of law,
government, foreign service, journalism, busi-
ness, and teaching. The department partici-
pates in interdisciplinary programs with other
departments in the Latin American and Carib-
bean Studies minor, the American Studies Pro-
gram, the International Studies concentration,
and the University Honors Program. Students
who attain high standards of scholarship are
sponsored for membership in Phi Alpha Theta,
the international honor society in history and
participate in the special programs under its
auspices.

For the B.A. degree in history, the major must
complete at least 24 upper division credits in
history courses bearing three-digit numbers. In
order to ensure a broad background in historical
study, majors are required to complete six
credits of upper division courses in European
history (at least three credits of which shall be in
European history prior to 1600), six credits of
upper division American history and six credits
of Third World history (Asia, Eastern Europe,
Latin America).

To ensure a well-planned and coordinated pro-
gram, students are required to work closely with
their history faculty advisor.

Introductory Courses 01-99

All students are required to take HI 30 and one
other introductory level course.

HI 30 The Foundations of "Modernization"
in the West, 1500-1815

Under the impetus of the Renaissance and Reforma-
tion, the Western world begins the ongoing process of
"modernization" by re-examining its concept of so-
ciety, its political, religious, and economic institutions,
and the individual's relationship to them. The rise of
the nation-states and their imperial rivalries open
Europe to interaction with the rest of the globe. The
Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment accel-
erate the intellectual ferment and search for truth
which finds political expression in revolutions in Great
Britain, the United States, and France. Capitalism and
the early phases of the Industrial Revolution transform
the economic and living conditions of western man.
Instability and insecurity create conflicting trends and
problems which persist in the world today

3 semester hours

HI 31 Power Politics and the Emergence
of Superpowers, 1815-1950

This course considers the development of modern
nation-states and the emergence of the present-day
Superpowers. Beginning with the Congress of Vienna
and the conservative Age of Metternich, the course
will treat trends and change in the 19th century
Europe and the first half of the 20th century Liberal
and national uprisings, the unification of Italy, Bis-
marck's Second Reich, Napoleon III, the Third French
Republic, the heyday of British Imperialism, the rise of
the United States to world prominence, Russia and
the West, Kaiser William II and the coming of World
War I, the Treaty of Versailles and the failure of the
Peacemakers, the rise of dictators, Europe between
the wars. World War II, the Superpowers and the Cold
War will be discussed. 3 semester hours

HI 32 The Birth of the Post-Modern
World, 1850-1950

In the second half of the 19th century industrial, social,
and scientific progress enables the West to conquer
the globe. But the increasing mechanization of society
brings the alienation of the individual and the growth J
of class and racial antipathies. A wave of f
"-isms" (Marxism, nationalism, imperialism, etc.) in-
creases the stress. Ultimately the impact of two world
conflicts demonstrates the fragility of Western
supremacy and raises major problems of relationships
with the Third World and the social revolutions within
the old system. 3 semester hours

College of Arts and Sciences
History

HI 50 The American Crucible:
Europe and America, 1815-1945

A study of the genesis of American institutions and
their European antecedents. The year 1815 will be the
point of departure for this historical analysis but the
study will include a chronicle of significant events
leading to the creation of the American Republic:
political, economic, social, religious, intellectual. The
major theme of the course is the testing of these
institutions in times of crises, from revolution to the
establishment of constitutional principles, the
emergence of political factionalism, and the develop-
ment of a coherent foreign policy under Washington
during the French revolutionary wars. The testing of
American federalism and republicanism continues
into the 19th century with Jacksonian democracy, the
rise of sectional reform, the slavery issue in the ante-
bellum period, the great crisis of the Civil War and
post-bellum America. The final phase will deal with
American and European relations, the closing of the
frontier, European and American imperialism, and the
impact in the 20th century of two great world wars on a
democratic society. 3 semester hours

HI 51 The American Republic in a
Changing World

This course deals with the historical development of
the American Republic, from the establishment of the
Federal Union to its status as a world power in the 20th
century. Commencing with the American Revolution,
the factors that produced American constitutional gov-
ernment, Hamiltonian vs. Jeffersonian Republi-
canism, conditions which stimulated rapid growth and
sectional tensions that provoked the near break-up of
the Union are analyzed. The problems of Reconstruc-
tion, Industrialism and the counter-response of Popu-
lism, Progressivism, and the New Deals interrupted by
two World Wars are examined. The course concludes
with a discussion of the problems of post-World War II
leadership and domestic economic and social
reforms. 3 semester hours

HI 52 The Pursuit of Happiness: Reforming
the American Republic, 1800-1980

After a brief survey of the colonial and revolutionary
origins of the United States, this course will focus on
developments in the 19th and 20th centuries. Special
emphasis on such topics as Jeffersonian Republi-
canism, Jacksonian Democracy, the Civil War and
Reconstruction, Urbanism, Industrialism, the Rise of
Inequality, World War I, and the Depression. The
history of social reform in America will be greatly
stressed — ante-bellum reform and communitarian
movements. Populism, Progressivism, the New Deal
and conservative resistance to each. Themes selected
will be designed to illustrate the roots of our most
pressing contemporary problems: Localism vs. Cen-
tralism, Insiders vs. Outsiders, Individualism vs. Com-
munity, Black vs. White, etc. The course will conclude
with the Vietnam War, its role in the formation of
the '60s, radicalism, and subsequent conservative
reaction. 3 semester hours

HI 53 Europe and America, 1815-1950

This course begins with the close of the Napoleonic
Wars and stresses the interplay between Europe and
America. The theme is the political isolation of
America from Europe during the 19th century and the
growing economic and intellectual cross-currents that
tend to undermine it. At the end of the 19th century,
America catches the fever of imperialism from Europe
which results in an American Empire. In the 20th
century the United States gradually becomes en-
tangled in European and world affairs resulting in its
emergence as a world power with responsibilities
around the globe. 3 semester hours

HI 70 Russia and the West, 1815-1945

This course will consider the differing responses of
both Western Europe and Russia to nationalism, so-
cialism, liberalism and the Industrial Revolution; the
differences between the French and Russian Revolu-
tions, their responses to fascism, Nazism and a re-
defined liberalism; their responses to the second
phase of the Industrial Revolution, and the political
and cultural relations between Russia and the West-
ern world. 3 semester hours

HI 71 West Meets East:
Why Can't They be Like Us?

A survey of the historical contacts between Western
civilization and the great civilizations of Asia — India,
China, Japan, and Southeast Asia. The economic and
cultural contacts resulting from trade, colonialism, and
imperialism have been accompanied by changing
perceptions Asia and the West have had of each other
and have yielded a surprising degree of aesthetic and
cultural interchange. Primary sources will enable the
student to see the events discussed through the eyes
of the participants. 3 semester hours

HI 72 Western European and Latin American
Revolution Compared, 1800-1980

This course will compare the political, economic, and
social revolutions in Western Europe (First World) with
those of Latin American (Third World). The responses
to the problems of industrialism, the rise of pluralism
and egalitarianism, the demand for participatory
democracy and the forces of nationalism, liberalism,
conservatism, and socialism in Western Europe in the
19th century will be examined along with the problems
arising from the process of modernization in 20th
century England, France and Germany (democratic
vs. totalitarian responses). Latin America's successful
revolutions for political independence from Iberia
(1810-26), the subsequent failure to reform semi-feudal
institutions, and the continuing inability to pursue
successful modernization in the 20th century despite
revolutions in Mexico and Cuba will be discussed.

3 semester hours

HI 73 The West and the Middle East

An examination of Western and Middle Eastern rela-
tions from the 18th century until the Israeli Lebanese
conflict in 1982. An effort is made to relate recurring
upheavals of the Middle East, including conflicts be-
tween ethnic-religious groups and economic classes,
to structural transformations that have developed over
two centuries. Topics include: Western colonization
and conquest; Middle Eastern nationalism; the Arab-
Israeli conflict; the economics and politics of oil; the
Islamic revival. 3 semester hours

Intermediate Courses, 200-299

All intermediate courses require HI 30 and one
other introductory course.

HI 202 Order and Prophecy I

The medieval world attempted to reconcile the spirit of
institutional order (Church, Empire, universities,
guilds, towns) and the spirit of prophecy (popular
religion, social protest, heresy, superstition, cultism).
The conflict and attempted reconciliation between
these two outlooks in the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries
will be explored. 3 semester hours

The Latin American-Caribbean Studies minor
was inaugurated as a direct response to global
reality and international preoccupations and
concerns. It allows students to concentrate their
efforts in an area of increasingly explosive in-
terest and importance: Latin America and the
Caribbean. This course of study affords stu-
dents the opportunity of obtaining a Certificate
verifying a minor in Latin American and Carib-
bean Studies providing that the students have
taken continuing Spanish (131-132) or its equiva-
lent and a distribution of 15 credits in language,
literature or culture, business, history, politics,
religious studies, economics, sociology, and/or
the interdisciplinary seminar. Courses selected
must be outside the student's Major field of
study.

The program sponsors lectures by ambassa-
dors and other diplomatic personnel as well as
discussions, roundtables, and teach-ins with
non-official representatives from various Latin
American and Caribbean countries. Films,
slides, photographic exhibits are an integral part
of some classes and are included to give stu-
dents a more comprehensive understanding of
current events in this area of the world.

Requirements for a minor in Latin American and

rhe study of modern foreign languages, as well
IS their cultures and literatures in the original, is
m intellectual experience that offers the student
mother point of view on life. Knowledge of a
anguage other than English is freedom from
he restraints of seeing but one reality, and the
lew perspectives that are gained from under-
jtanding the expression of another people are
he essence of a liberal arts education.

rhe Department of Modern Languages stresses
)roficiency in all language skills in order to
)repare students for careers in business, com-
nunication, education, government, health
iciences, social work, and related professions.

i/lajors will elect a minimum of 24 upper-division
iredits, i.e., eight, three-credit courses at the
JOO level. These courses will include: four
;ourses in literature, one in composition, one in
;onversation, and one in culture, which can be
vaived in favor of summer study abroad or
lunior Year Abroad (both of which the Depart-
nent encourages); the eighth course may be
lelected from any of the above areas. The study
)f a second or third language is encouraged. All
najors are urged to work closely, as soon as
)ossible, with an advisor of their choice to plan
I program.

\ minor in Modern Languages is 15 credits
)eyond 21, at the selection of the student and in
consultation with a departmental advisor.

>ore requirements may be fulfilled by com-
)leting successfully two semesters of French,
aerman, Italian, or Spanish at the 21-22 level; or
-rench, German, and Spanish at the 131-132
evel or beyond. If the 11-12 level is selected (i.e.,
he student begins a language at Fairfield Uni-
versity), then 21-22 must also be taken to fulfill
he language requirement.

The 300 level courses are conducted in the
language and students are encouraged to con-
sult with a member of the department when
selecting them.

In addition to its own programs, the Department
of Modern Languages participates in the minor
in International Studies and the minor in Latin
American and Caribbean Studies. (Both pro-
grams are listed separately in this catalogue.)

French

PR 11-12 Basic French

The purpose of this course is to teach the students not
only to read French but also to pronounce correctly, to
understand, to speak, and to write simple French.

semester. 6 semester hours

PR 21-22 Intermediate French

In this course the principles of pronunciation and
grammar are reviewed as needed for composition
work and conversation both in the classroom and in
the language laboratory. Literary selections are read
not only for their aesthetic value but also because they
reflect and illustrate characteristic traits of the French
people and their typical culture. Three classes and
one laboratory period per week for two semesters.

Department of

Philosophy

Professors: Grassi, M. Grossman, Long,

L. Newton, Tong
Associate Professors: Dykeman (Chair),

Johnston, Myers
Assistant Professors: Cardoni, Carr, Coleman

Philosophy is a quest for truth, for ultimate
values. The objective of our program, then, is to
develop in the student a philosophic habit of
mind by which he or she seeks to discover these
values. We feel that the quest and the values are
interdependent; the mind feeds on value, but
values do not submit themselves except
through critical evaluation of one's experience.
Although there is no one prescribed method-
ology by which this critical attitude is developed,
the emphasis in our program is placed on a
blend of the thematic and the historical. Only in
the light of their evolution and cultural context
can values be thoroughly understood.

Philosophy is delimited and defined today by
three major schools: analytic philosophy, exis-
tentialism and phenomenology, and speculative
or traditional philosophy. Each tradition is repre-
sented in Fairfield University's philosophy pro-
gram. This variety of perspectives gives a broad
outlook to the student. The rigor of the pro-
gram develops confidence and skill within the
student.

To further these aims, the Department
publishes the Fairfield Philosophy Journal, each
issue of which consists of student papers
selected by a committee of the Department's
faculty. In honor of the late Rev. J. Dennis
Crowley, S.J., an award is presented annually
for the best student essay. Also, the Department
annually sponsors a series of lectures and regu-
larly hosts both national and international phi-
losophy society conferences.

107

The Core Program in Philosophy

It is the judgment of the Department that the
best introduction to philosophy for the under-
graduate is a study of the three major periods of
Western thought — namely, the classical, the
medieval, and the modern. Reflected here,
moreover, is a division that is more than chrono-
logical; the courses represent markedly dif-
ferent approaches to the philosophic enterprise,
each of which demands detailed and careful
treatment. An acquaintance with dominant
themes of each of these periods is felt to be
fundamental for advanced study in any field and
for a liberal education in general. Such a pro-
gram, finally, accords with the special identity of
Fairfield University, its tradition and values.

Each student takes two semesters of philoso-
phy. The first course is PH 10 — Introduction to
Philosophy; the second course is selected from
one of the Modern Philosophy options num-
bered from PH 50 to PH 99.

If a student decides to take his or her third
course in philosophy, any course numbered
from 100 up may be selected.

Course Requirements for

Department of

Physics

Professors: Hadjimichael (Chair), McElaney,

Zabinski
Associate Professor: V. Newton
Assistant Professor: Winchester

The Department of Physics sponsors three dif-
ferent programs: (a) Physics, (b) Engineering,
(c) a Concentration in Digital Electronics and
Communications Physics (Applied Physics).

The science of physics is concerned principally
with the physical laws that determine the nature
and interactions of matter and energy and
underlie all physical phenomena. It is the funda-
mental science for most branches of engi-
neering and technology and has innumerable
applications in medicine, industry, and everyday
life.

The educational objectives of the Department of
Physics can be summarized as follows: (a)
Physics and engineering students are guided to
an understanding of physical laws and their
applications; (b) students are trained to think
logically and develop their problem-solving abil-
ity; (c) they develop experimental skills and
become knowledgeable in the use of instrumen-
tation; and (d) they are instructed in advanced
mathematics and the use of computers and
microprocessors. Physics and engineering stu-
dents automatically earn a minor in mathe-
matics. Physics graduates can either pursue
graduate studies leading to M.S. and Ph.D.
degrees in any subfield of physics or follow
industrial careers in research and development,
teaching careers in science education or profes-
sional careers in such fields as health physics,
computer systems, medicine, biostatistics, ar-
chitecture, etc.

Department of

Politics

Professors: Dew, Donnarumma
Associate Professors: Greenberg (Chair),

A. Katz, Orman
Assistant Professor: Cassidy

The Department of Politics has attempted to
develop a balanced and diversified curriculum
which covers the major subfields of the disci-
pline. While very much aware of the perennial
questions of government and society which
puzzled political philosophers such as Aristotle
and Plato, the Department is concerned that its
students be well-versed in the affairs and con-
tending theories of the contemporary world. It is
also committed to the development of rigorous
analytical skills, the arts of communication (both
spoken and written), and experiential learning.
Professors are closely involved with the
emergent programs of ethics, peace and jus-
tice, and Latin American and Caribbean Stud-
ies. Thus, while it is designed to provide a broad
liberal education, the Politics curriculum is also
appropriate for a large number of career orienta-
tions, especially law, government, the media,
teaching, and business.

A major in Politics will constitute 30 credits: 6 at
the lower division level and 24 at the upper
division level. Each student must take two
courses in each of the following fields in order to
fulfill the requirements of the major: American
government and politics, political theory, and
comparative politics/international relations.

Minors in Politics are required to complete 18
credits, including the introductory courses and
one course from each of the above mentioned
subfields.

The Department of Psychology has set as its
major objective the education of students who
desire a quality and basic scientific undergradu-
ate program in psychology. Such a program,
along with the careful selection of other
courses, prepares students for graduate study
in psychology, neurosciences, education, medi-
cine, law, social work, business, etc., or for entry
immediately after college into a career in gov-
ernment or industry. In addition, one of the
objectives of the Department is the presentation
of significant background courses in many
areas of psychology for non-majors.

Depending on their background and orientation,
students may choose either the B.A. or B.S.
degree in Psychology. Beginning with the class
of '88 the B.A. required courses include PY 15,
PY 103, Bl 83-84, two courses chosen from PY
263, PY 251, PY 248, PY 184 and two from PY
265, PY 261, PY 285, a research lab, and an
integrative seminar taken in the senior year. For
the B.S. degree, additional requirements in-
clude PY 104, MA 21-22, CH 11-12, PS 83-84,
and at least two labs in Psychology. Students
may choose the B.S. degree program at the end

Associate Professors: Benney, Burns,

Humphrey, Lakeland, O'Callaghan, Thiel

(Chair)
Assistant Professors: Jackson, Sachs
Instructor: O' Regan
Lecturer: Sher

The Religious Studies curriculum is designed
as a critical but sympathetic inquiry into the
religious dimension of human experience. After
an introduction to the nature of religion and the
methods employed in its study, the student can
select from a variety of courses exploring speci-
fic religious themes — scripture, spirituality,
ethics, the problem of faith, etc. The student,
with or without a faith commitment, has the
opportunity to acquire an informed appreciation
of the motivations and values given expression
in religious belief.

A student may take courses offered by the
Religious Studies Department in the required
"core curriculum," as electives, or in a minor or
major program in Religious Studies under the
direction of a departmental advisor.

Three of the five courses required in Area III of
the core curriculum, described on page 30 of
this catalogue, may be taken in Religious Stud-
ies. Introduction to Religious Studies (RS 10)
must be taken by all students; a second course
of the student's choosing must be taken in
Religious Studies. A third course may also be
chosen in Religious Studies to complete the five
course requirement of Area III.

In addition, many students choose Religious
Studies courses as electives in order to develop
personal interests.

A personally structured option in Religious
Studies may be pursued by choosing second
and third courses of the Area III requirement
from offerings with related content. An elective
course or two would extend this option into a
program of interest to the student.

The Religious Studies Department offers a
minor of 15 credits which includes those credits
earned to satisfy the requirements of the core
curriculum. The minor program, defined in con-
sultation with a departmental advisor, may be
tailored to the individual's personal and aca-
demic interests, and often may complement the
student's major program. The minor program
may focus on areas of concentration such as
Judeo-Christian history, religion and society,
Christian theology, scripture, ethics, and Ro-
man Catholic studies. Under special conditions
and when resources are available, the depart-
ment offers the Religious Studies minor the
possibility of pursuing an independent study in
his or her senior year.

Students interested in an option, a minor, a
major, or a double-major program should con-
tact the Chair of the Religious Studies Depart-
ment.

Sociology

Associate Professors: Anderson, Fay,

Instructor: Rodrigues
Lecturer: Lindsey

Sociology is the scientific study of human so-
ciety and social behavior. It seeks to understand
why individuals form groups and how member-
ship in groups influences the individual's behav-
ior. Why do human beings form families? Why
do the rich act, and even think, differently from
the poor? What makes some people break
social rules and others obey them? What holds
societies together? Why do all societies change
over time? These are questions which sociolo-
gists ponder.

Students majoring in sociology at Fairfield Uni-
versity begin their study by taking several funda-
mental courses which provide them with an
understanding of the basic concepts and
methodology of the field. The student builds on
this foundation by selecting from a wide variety
of elective courses. Each student is carefully
and individually advised throughout his or her
stay at Fairfield. The faculty strives to clarify
career goals and to put together a concentration
of courses and experiences that will ensure for
the student intellectual fulfillment and a viable
career.

Students in the School of Business take the
same general education core curriculum re-
quired of other undergraduate students, thus
assuring a broad knowledge of the humanities,
mathematics, social sciences and natural
sciences and a flexibility of mind which can be
extremely valuable to the executive. In addition,
students take a business core curriculum of
subjects which provide an introduction to the
fields of accounting, statistics, legal environ-
ment of business, organizational behavior, pro-
duction and operations, business ethics,
international business, finance, computer-
based information systems, and marketing. A
capstone course in business policies completes
the student's business studies.

The balance of the program will depend on the
major — accounting, computer information sys-
tems, finance, management, or marketing —
but in every case, it will be a tailor-made pro-
gram designed jointly by the student and a
faculty advisor. All members of the business
faculty are people of substantial business ex-
perience, which makes them invaluable guides
in the choice of a course of study that will further
the student's specific career goals.

Students are motivated to continue to grow
intellectually and to be prepared for graduate
study. A broad perspective of society and the
proper role of business based upon an appropri-
ate set of moral values is emphasized. In con-
sultation with faculty, each student follows an
approved curriculum which reflects an inte-
grated approach to the study of modern
management as well as the student's own ca-
reer objectives.

Major Areas of Study

Accounting

Accounting majors will take those courses that
will qualify them to take the Certified Public
Accountant (CPA) examination. They also may
take courses appropriate for careers in private
accounting, internal auditing, government and
not-for-profit accounting. Many students find
that undergraduate studies in accounting are
excellent preparation for a wide range of cor-
porate positions.

Computer Information Systems
Computer Information Systems majors will study
the analysis, design, development, and
management of information systems in organi-
zations. They will develop an understanding of
the needs of information, its use in the decision-
making process, and the procedures by which
information is provided to management.

This is a limited enrollment program. Transfer
students, students admitted as undeclared, or
those wishing to change their major may be
accepted into it on a competitive basis as space
is available.

Finance

Finance majors will study both the theory and
practice of financial management. Additionally,
they will analyze actual case histories of the
financial operations of several different com-
panies. The courses included in this major area
prepare students to enter into financial manage-
ment positions with either corporate or govern-
mental organizations.

Management

Management majors will study the theory and
practice of management by concentrating in
one of two areas: human resources or produc-
tion and operations management. The human

School of Business

137

resources concentration emphasizes the appli-
cation of social and behavioral science princi-
ples to an understanding of management
practices. The operations "track" concentrates
on the application of management techniques to
optimize the efficiency of the production of
goods and services.

Marketing

Marl<eting majors will study both the theory and
practice of the flow of goods and services from
producer to consumer. In a sense, it is the most
humanistic of the business majors; it requires
students to understand consumer behavior, the
motivation of sales personnel, the impact of
advertising and communications on the poten-
tial consumer, the characteristics of consumers,
the cultures involved in international marketing,
and market research techniques.

Minor Areas of Study

In addition to the five major areas of study,
minors are available in the following areas to all
students in the School of Business.

It is the student's responsibility to complete the
proper University form to enroll in a minor, and
to make sure that appropriate copies of the form
are filed in both the Dean's office and the
University Registrar's office. The form is avail-
able from the advisor for the minor area of study.

The completion of the minor is subject to the
availability of the courses selected.

Information Systems and Computer Applications
These related minors are concerned with the
identification, analysis, design, development,
and management of information systems in
organizations. Students develop an understand-
ing of the needs of information, its use in the
decision-making process, and the procedures
by which information is provided to manage-
ment. Through the courses within the minors
students learn the interaction between informa-
tion systems and computer technology. Stu-
dents in the School of Business may also take
courses in the Computer Science Program in
the College of Arts and Sciences, listed in this
catalogue.

Quantitative Analysis

Quantitative Analysis is a rapidly developing

field of study relating to business operations.

Students study the role of data analysis in

quantitative decision-making and business

forecasting.

International Business

The minor in international business is designed
to prepare students for a career in the multina-
tional firm, financial institution, international ac-
counting firm, trading organization and
government bodies involved in international
operations.

Courses taken in the minor, offered jointly with
the international studies minor of the College of
Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School of
Corporate and Political Communication, will be
selected to complement the basic discipline in
which a student is majoring.

Honors Program

The School of Business participates in the Uni-
versity Honors Program (described earlier
under "Curricula") for those undergraduates
who have distinguished themselves in their
studies. Eligible students choosing to pursue
honors designation are required to conduct a
research project under the supervision of a
faculty member. Students are also required to
meet in a bi-weekly interdisciplinary seminar.
Successful completion of the Honors Pro-
gram is recorded on the graduating student's
transcript.

Internship Program

Another feature of the School of Business is the
optional senior-year internship for qualified stu-
dents. These internships are undertaken for
credit, and sometimes for pay. The student's
progress is monitored by both an on-the-job
supervisor and a faculty member. Students in-
terested in internships should discuss arrange-
ments as early as possible with the Supervisor
of Internship Programs. The presence of a large
number of corporate offices in the Fairfield area
provides highly unusual and rewarding oppor-
tunities for internships.

School Activities/Programs

Complementing the School of Business' tradi-
tional pedagogical mission are a series of
diverse and distinctive programs that serve to
enrich both the University community and its
various constituencies:

• Through the generosity of the John M. Olin
Foundation, the John M. Olin Fellowships/
Papers Program was established at the School
of Business. Olin Fellows are selected from
among distinguished leaders of the American
economic system and are invited to address

Curricula

The curricula in the five major areas of business
study — accounting, computer information sys-
tems, finance, management, marketing — con-
sist of four parts: (1) general education core
curriculum courses, (2) business core courses,
(3) business major requirements, and (4) free
electives.

Each business major must schedule, through
the office of the Dean, a program conference
with a faculty advisor in his or her major area of
business study. The faculty advisor will prepare
a detailed list of requirements which are to be
completed, making appropriate choices from
the list of available elective courses. It is antici-
pated that the faculty advisor will, where appro-
priate, develop a student program which will
permit choosing courses from related majors in
the School of Business as well as appropriate
specific courses in the non-business area. Such
conferences should be scheduled early in their
first semester for entering freshmen. Transfer
students must schedule a program conference
prior to beginning their studies at Fairfield
University.

The general education core curriculum compo-
nent includes approximately one-half of the total
number of courses to be completed for the
Bachelor of Science degree in business.

For students entering the School of Business
either as freshmen or as transfer students, the
requirements for graduation with the B.S. de-
gree in the business majors are as follows:

Porter, Sideleau
Assistant Professors: de Brun, Dudac,

Fleitas, Kalnins, Lavery, Mohr, Obrig,

Pomarico, Ponton
Lecturers: Cryan, Stout

The curriculum of the School of Nursing pro-
vides the student with the educational experi-
ences whereby he or she can gain a strong base
in the humanities, mathematics, social
sciences, and natural sciences as well as in
theory and practice in nursing. The program is
designed to foster the student's personal and
professional growth that is necessary for a com-
mitted and compassionate practitioner of nurs-
ing capable of providing professional nursing
care to people with nursing needs in whatever
setting they may be encountered. Students
must meet prerequisite and corequisite policies
established by the School of Nursing. In addi-
tion to meeting promotion policy requirements
of the University, students must meet promotion
policy requirements established by the School
of Nursing.

The goal of the School is to prepare the student
for the first level of professional nursing practice
in keeping with the focus for baccalaureate
nursing programs. Fairfield prepares the stu-
dent for general nursing practice. Throughout
the program students are exposed to nursing
practice in a variety of clinical, health care
delivery settings and systems. The program is a
team-taught integrated curriculum designed to
provide maximum exposure to nursing. Faculty
members are exceptionally well-qualified by
both academic and practical preparation. The
small student-faculty ratio is an inherent compo-
nent of the program, particularly as it relates to
clinical practice.

On-campus nursing classes are held in a mod-
ern building that features a tiered lecture-
demonstration room with projection facilities, a
nursing simulation laboratory where the student
becomes familiar with the most common tech-
niques and equipment, and an education media
room that has the most modern multi-media
facilities for learning.

The three components of the School of Nurs-
ing's program are:

The core curriculum — Nursing students must
complete the core curriculum that is required of
all Fairfield undergraduates.

Natural and social sciences — Students take
one year of chemistry and a year and a half of
biology which includes anatomy, physiology,
and microbiology. Because the social sciences
form an important part of the foundation for
nursing practice, students take courses in psy-
chology and in sociology.

Nursing courses — Classroom instruction in
nursing theory and skills begins in the freshman
year and continues throughout the undergradu-
ate program. Nursing courses are comprised of
both theoretical and clinical components. With
each passing year clinical work increases, until,
by the senior year, a significant portion of time is
spent in the nursing major, which includes clini-
cal practice as well as the theory component. To
ensure that students get the breadth and depth
of clinical experience needed, the School has
associations with many clinical facilities, includ-
ing private hospitals, a veterans hospital, clinics,
outpatient departments, rehabilitation centers,
public health departments, and long-term care
facilities.

School of Nursing

Personal Requirements

A personal interview with the Admissions Office
is strongly encouraged of all applicants for ad-
mission to the program in order that assessment
of the student's personal qualities may be made.
The student is responsible for providing his/her
own uniforms and transportation to the clinical
facilities.

R. N. Program

Overview

The program for the R.N. student does not differ
from that of the generic student in required
courses and credits. The overall objectives of
the program and the specific objectives for each
course remain the same for both the generic
and the R.N. candidate, hence ensuring consis-
tency in the academic standards and quality of
the program. The methods by which the course
objectives are to be met by the R.N. student will
reflect teaching/learning strategies appropriate
for adult learners.

Admission

The R.N. students are initially admitted through
the School of Graduate and Continuing Educa-
tion and must complete a minimum of four
courses with a grade of "C" or better. One of
these courses should be in a required natural
science and one in a required social science
unless credit has been granted through transfer
or examination.

Matriculation in Nursing

A. R.N. students will be able to matriculate in
the School of Nursing when they have com-
pleted a minimum of 36 credits including
those courses prerequisite to sophomore
level nursing courses.

B. In addition, students must:

— have current registration in Connecticut.

— carry malpractice insurance.

— comply with health policies of the School of
Nursing.

Curriculum

Course requirements in the liberal arts and
required supportive courses can be met by
certain CLEP and ACT examinations, and/or
transfer credits from other academic institu-
tions, or by enrollment in specific courses. Sixty
credits must be taken at Fairfield University.

All R.N.'s will enroll in a seminar course when
they matriculate in the School of Nursing. The
course is designed to facilitate entry into the
program, provide new theoretical learning, pro-
vide a forum for discussion of relevant nursing
issues, and guide the nurse in articulating his or
her personal and professional goals, and pro-
gram plan.

Transfer

Courses will be accepted in transfer from other
accredited colleges and universities on the
basis of satisfactory ("C" or better) academic
record and equivalency to Fairfield University
courses.

CLEP

Some core requirements may be met by suc-
cessfully passing CLEP subject examinations.
Detailed information is available through the
School of Graduate and Continuing Education.

Advanced Placement in Nursing

It is possible for the R.N. to seek advanced
placement in the nursing major through junior
level courses, totaling a maximum of 25 credits.
Advanced placement is possible by successfully
completing ACT tests in nursing, and clinical
performance examinations.

Directed Study Modules

Directed study modules have been developed
for nursing courses. The use of the modules is
predicated upon the adult learner as being a
self-motivated and self-directed student. The
students using the modules will receive both
faculty guidance, and faculty and student
interaction through periodic seminars on
campus.

School of Nursing

155

The R.N. may choose to meet course require-
ments through the modules rather than through
Advanced Placement Testing, depending upon
his or her background and experience. If an
R.N. selects the Advanced Placement option
and does not pass one or more of the stand-
ardized tests, he or she may complete the
directed study module(s) related to the objec-
tives which were not met and, thereby, meet
course requirements. The clinical performance
examinations must be passed to receive Ad-
vanced Placement credits.

Registration

The R.N. students register through the School
of Graduate and Continuing Education; call
(203) 254-4150 or (203) 254-4110 for procedures,
class schedules and dates for the fall, spring,
and summer semesters.

Costs

1. Tuition for courses is charged on a per credit
hour basis as with other courses in the
University; the present rate is $135 per credit
hour for 1-11 credits a semester.

2. There are separate fees for CLEP examina-
tions, ACT tests, and clinical performance
examinations.

Revision Policy

The provisions of this bulletin are not to be
regarded as an irrevocable contract between
Fairfield University and the student. The Univer-
sity reserves the right to change any provisions
or any requirement at any time.

A systems framework is employed in this course to
introduce the student to leadership and organizational
management theory, and to operationalize this theory
as it relates to the student, the client, and the health
care system. Clinical experiences are provided in care
settings where students will fulfill membership and
leadership roles in the context of peer groups. Social-
ization of the student group into the organizational
suprasystem is explored, and organizational dynamics
are analyzed in terms of structure, function, and their
interaction with the group. The evaluation phase of the
nursing process is accentuated through operationaliz-
ing the concepts of responsibility and accountability.

3 semester hours

NS 354 Practicum in Professional Nursing

This course is designed to assist senior students in
making the transition from the role of student to that of
professional nurse practitioner. In so doing, it has a
dual focus; the refinement of the student as a practic-
ing professional and the care of clients in student-
selected areas of practice. Professional development
is addressed through student formulation of clinical
and theoretical learning goals. Implementation of
these goals will be achieved through selected clinical
experiences and through independent study projects
addressing the client system of interest to the student.

Student Services

A full and diversified student life is provided for
all undergraduates through the coordinated ef-
forts of the University's Student Services Divi-
sion and the Fairfield University Student
Association (FUSA).

Fairfield Student Services
Division

The Fairfield Student Services Division
provides:

1. Assistance in planning social events and
campus activities.

2. Coordination of student organizations,
athletics, and recreation, judicial proceed-
ings, and the residence hall program.

3. Counseling and medical treatment through
the University Health Center.

4. Career guidance and placement assistance
in the Career Planning Center.

5. Maintenance of an up-to-date listing of all
University students.

6. Identification cards, which are required of all
members of the University community.

Fairfield University Student
Association (FUSA)

FUSA is Fairfield University's official undergrad-
uate student government, and each undergrad-
uate student is a member. The student
association is divided into three branches —
executive, legislative, and judicial — each of
which works individually and collectively to im-
prove the quality of life for all students at
Fairfield.

The activities of all student organizations, as
well as social and cultural events, are underwrit-
ten to some degree by the student association.
The executive branch coordinates overall pro-
grams, and the legislature allocates the funds
necessary for implementation.

The FUSA office is located in the Campus
Center and is open daily. Students are welcome
to participate in all levels of FUSA and are
invited to drop by the office for assistance with a
problem or to get involved in activities.

Executive Branch

The President of FUSA is elected through a
campus-wide popular election held in February
each year. The President serves as the spokes-
person for the undergraduate student body and
is empowered to appoint a cabinet for assist-
ance in carrying out his or her duties. The
President also oversees all programming and
keeps students informed of upcoming events.
The cabinet consists of a Treasurer, Vice-
President of Student Life, Vice-President of Stu-
dent Activities, Club Coordinator, Academics,
Student Services, Oak Room/Coffee House,
Special Events, Sports and Leisure, Publicity,
and Arts and Lectures.

Legislative Branch

Made up of elected representatives of residence
halls, commuters, and off-campus boarders, the
Student Legislature appropriates FUSA funds
for student organizations and activities, con-
ducts investigations, and approves various
FUSA officials and delegates.

Judicial Branch

The Student Court, which consists of a Chief
Justice and eight Associate Justices, serves as
the Judicial Branch of FUSA. It is the court of
first instance for students accused of minor
infractions of University policy.

Student Rules and
Regulations

The rules and regulations governing student life
are provided in full in the Student Handbook, a
copy of which is provided to each student by the
Student Services Division of the University. If
further interpretation of any of these rules and
regulations is required, the student should con-
sult personnel in the Student Services Division.

Discipline

Both intellectual growth and social harmony
require discipline as a necessary condition. Self
discipline, whether intellectual or social, is of
course the best form for community living, but it
is, of itself, inadequate. When free persons join
together in a common enterprise, whatever its

student Services

161

nature, some external authority is needed to
direct and sustain that enterprise. In the process
of accepting that authority and working in a
community, the individual can discover
the fullest meaning of freedom and fulfillment.
This does not mean a begrudging or uncritical
heeding of regulations, but rather a voluntary
and understanding acceptance of decisions for
the good of the whole community.

At Fairfield University the Vice-President for
Student Services has general care of student
welfare and of student discipline. The discipline
which he exercises is considerate but firm,
especially in matters which affect the good of
the student body as a whole and which touch
upon the reputation of the University. Neverthe-
less, the attitude of the Vice-President, as of the
faculty, is such as to make discipline, as far as
possible, the outgrowth of high student morale
and an element in the maturing of character.
However, the administration reserves the right to
dismiss a student or to exercise other disci-
plinary measures for misconduct either on or off
campus because student misconduct not only
reflects on the reputation of the University but is
an indication of the general character of the
student.

The Dean of Students may separate a student
from the University for reasons of health or
safety when a student's continuance at the
University poses a significant risk to the student
or others, when the Dean of Students has
reason to believe that such action is in the best
interests of the student or others at the
University.

Besides explicit offenses mentioned in the Stu-
dent Handbook, behavior that leads to civil
action renders a student liable to collegiate
disciplinary action including expulsion. While
the University does not look upon its relations
with students as primarily legal, it does guaran-
tee to any student involved in disciplinary action
due process and a right to be heard in his or her
own defense.

The University reserves the right, however, to
withdraw a student from the Institution in the
absence of due process, in the event the stu-
dent demonstrates a threat to his or her physical
or emotional safety, or presents a threat to the
safety of students, faculty, or staff.

Counseling Services

Some of Fairfield's many counseling services
are provided through specialized personnel:
academic counseling is provided by the stu-
dent's faculty advisor; religious and spiritual
counseling is available through the Campus
Ministry Office; career guidance and placement
assistance is provided in the Career Planning
Center. Most other types of counseling —
health, personal, psychological, social, or medi-
cal — are provided in the Health Services
Center.

The Career Planning Center exists to help stu-
dents identify and achieve their career goals.
The Center also serves as a coordinator of
information for off-campus employment during
your college years. Students who are interested
in part-time employment should read the bul-
letin board in the Career Planning Center in
Loyola Hall.

Students are encouraged to take advantage of
the vocational guidance and placement ser-
vices provided within the Center. The placement
service is also made available to graduates of
the University. A vocational library and reading
room located in the Career Planning Center may
be of assistance to students considering career
choices.

student Health

The physical, social, and psychological health
of students is cared for in the Student Health
Center located in Loyola Hall. The Health Cen-
ter staff consists of psychologists, registered
nurses who are on duty around the clock, and a
medical doctor who visits the Health Center
daily.

The Center attempts to help students gain
greater self-understanding so that they will be
able to successfully achieve their goals. The
staff welcomes individual students or groups of
students to come in with whatever problems
they have.

When appropriate, tests and inventories are
administered to students to help them clarify
personality characteristics and life goals. A staff
member carefully interprets and discusses the
results of testing with each student.

162

student Services

Seriously ill students may be admitted to St.
Vincent's Hospital in Bridgeport, just minutes
from the campus.

Accident and medical insurance is provided for
all students. Special health policies are required
for nursing students. Information may be ob-
tained from the School of Nursing.

Student Clubs and
inizations

Orgai

Fairfield University has scores of recognized
student clubs and organizations covering a
diversity of interests. (If there is sufficient de-
mand, new organizations may be started under
guidelines that may be obtained from the Stu-
dent Services Office.)

Academic clubs supplement classroom work of
some departments. Some of these clubs are the
following: the Accounting Club, limited to ac-
counting majors, provides talks by professionals
as well as by faculty members and students;
American Cfiemicai Society Affiliates features
guest lecturers, social functions, and opportuni-
ties for practical work experiences; the Biology
Society focuses on field trips, lectures, and
activities that combine recreation with educa-
tion; The Canisius Academy sponsors seminars
and lectures that enhance the religious studies
programs; Ttie Philosophy Club provides a
forum for the discussion and exchange of
issues of philosophical interest; the Student
Psychological Association (FUSPA) sponsors
movies, guest lectures, social events, and a
monthly newsletter to keep members abreast of
activities in the field; the Sociology Club plans
field trips and guest lectures and also provides a
forum of student papers and discussions; the
Student Nurses Association serves as the unify-
ing force among nursing students and sponsors
a broad range of activities of interest to its
members.

Special interest, political and athletic clubs

appeal to specific groups of students. These
clubs include: The Alpine Ski Club, a sports
club, which sponsors outdoor activities for
skiers and skaters; the UMOJA, which promotes
black-white unity on campus and provides so-
cial programs for the University's black commu-
nity; the Cheerleaders, a coed group, which
leads cheers at Fairfield basketball games; the
Commuter Club, which stimulates the partici-
pation of commuters in University activities; The
International Relations Club, which focuses on
international issues, annually participates in the
National Model United Nations Convention; the
International Students Club, which, through a
variety of activities, fosters friendly relations
between students from a variety of countries;
the Spanish American Students Association,
which fosters unity, interest, and appreciation of
Hispanic culture.

Student Services

163

Service organizations reflect the interest of
students in helping their fellow human beings.
Among them are: Appalachia Volunteers, who
provide students with an opportunity to work
with mountaineers for a week or two each year;
the Cardinal Key Society, which is involved with
serving both the campus and the town commu-
nities through volunteer social work; the Knights
of Columbus, who are involved in such projects
as working with the mentally retarded and run-
ning the Southbury Training School Fund Rais-
ing Ball; Student Outreach Services, which
sponsor a broad range of activities in surround-
ing communities.

Communication organizations are excellent
outlets for those who have the gift of communi-
cating: Groundstar is the University literary
publication of high artistic merit; The Manor is
the University yearbook, totally produced, writ-
ten, and designed by students; The Mirror is a
weekly student newspaper distributed to all stu-
dents; Radio Station WVOF presents daily
broadcasts of rock, jazz, news, and public
service materials.

Music organizations present opportunities for
vocalists and instrumentalists. Among these
groups are the following: the Chamber Orches-
tra, which promotes the performance and ap-
preciation of Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque,
and Classical music; the Women's Chorale,
which is a 40-voice women's group that per-
forms choral works both on and off campus; the
Glee Club of 50 male voices, which practices
during the fall in preparation for its 12 public
concerts in the New England-New York area.

The Playhouse is a student drama organization
that presents several major productions a year
along with a number of workshops, studio pro-
ductions, guest productions, and special events.

Athletics and Sports
Activities

For men and women, Fairfield provides three
types of organized athletics and sports activi-
ties: varsity sports, club sports, and intramural
sports. Fairfield is in the university division of
the National Collegiate Athletic Association
(NCAA) and the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Con-
ference (ECAC).ln addition, Fairfield competes
in conference championship play as a charter
member of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Con-
ference.

Varsity sports for men include baseball, basket-
ball, cross country, golf, ice hockey, soccer,
swimming, and tennis. Women's varsity sports
include basketball, cross country, field hockey,
Softball, swimming, volleyball, and tennis. In
most of these sports, Fairfield teams compete
against conference (ECAC) and non-conference
opponents and participate in invitational and
postseason tournaments.

Club sports also provide intercollegiate competi-
tion, but these activities are organized and
operated by students in conjunction with the
Athletics Department. Club sports include fenc-
ing, football, lacrosse, rugby, skiing, and volley-
ball. Some of these teams participate in
conference competition or belong to specialized
athletic groups such as the Eastern Rugby
Union.

Fairfield offers an extensive intramural sports
program which runs from the second week of
the fall semester to the end of the academic
year in the spring. Intramural sports include
basketball, softball, tennis, flag football, volley-
ball, soccer, racquetball, and inner tube water
polo. Winning teams and individuals receive
awards at the annual sports dinner.

The student who does not wish to participate in
organized sports has the opportunity to make
full use of Fairfield's new Recreational Com-
plex, the outdoor tennis courts and playing
fields, and join in a variety of informal "pick-up"
games that take place both indoors and out-
doors on the campus at all seasons of the year.

I O^ Campus Life

Campus Life

Student life at Fairfield takes place on a 200-
acre campus of exceptional natural beauty.
From an elevation of 180 feet and at a distance
of two miles, the campus commands a broad
view of Long Island Sound.

The modern buildings provide learning quarters
for students, as well as living quarters for a
resident community of more than 1,900 under-
graduates and for members of the Jesuit com-
munity. Among the more important of the 40
major buildings and other facilities on campus
are the following:

The Residence Halls

A large proportion of Fairfield's student life
centers in and around its eight residence halls.
To facilitate their adjustment to campus life as
well as to give direction to their personal growth,
freshmen are integrated with upperclass stu-
dents in these residence halls wherever pos-
sible, but two halls are set apart primarily for
upperclass students.

A University staff assists students in adjusting to
residence hall life in particular, and campus life
in general. In addition to the Director of Student
Residences, the Assistant Director of Student
Residences, and three Head Residents, there
are student Resident Advisors. These students
have been trained to provide advice and coun-
sel to other students and to supervise student
behavior. In addition, Jesuits live on various
floors of residence halls, sharing their commit-
ment, their experience, and their concern with
students.

Residence halls are self-directed units. To-
gether, students and staff decide what their
aims will be and how they will achieve them
within the residence halls. Through shared re-
sponsibility in all aspects of residence hall life,
students develop a respect for the personal and
property rights of all persons and of the Univer-
sity itself.

Upperclass students may elect to live in the
University-owned townhouses. These units, lo-
cated on the perimeter of the campus, offer
students a greater degree of independence. An
optional housing arrangement exists in off-
campus housing, apartments, and beach
houses that can be rented for the academic
year.

Full information about campus and off-campus
housing and about housing policies may be
found in the Student Handbook.

The Campus Center

The Campus Center is the social focal point for
all segments of the University community —
students, faculty, administration, alumni, and
guests. The Center contains the main dining
room and a faculty dining room, the mail center,
Student Association (FUSA) offices, the book-
store, the Stag-Her Inn (a snack bar and
rathskeller), music rooms, game room and a
variety of other facilities for student services.
The Campus Center Office reserves space for
and schedules such activities as concerts, art
shows, lectures, auctions, conferences, and a
variety of other University events. Through the
Center, an extensive program of cultural, educa-
tional and recreational events is offered to the
entire University community. A regular Weekly
Bulletin informs the campus of all upcoming
Center events.

The Library

The Nyselius Library contains more than
189,000 carefully selected bound volumes,
260,000 microforms, and 1,500 journals and
newspapers. A media department contains
video and audio cassettes, records, and other
audiovisual materials, as well as equipment for
their use. The stacks are open to all students
and there is study space, primarily at individual
carrels, for over 600 students at any one time.
For the convenience of the campus community,
the library is open over 100 hours a week except
during vacation periods.

The Recreational Complex Other Buildings

The Recreational Complex is a modern building
adjacent to Alumni Hall, the gymnasium.
Planned to help students develop lifelong physi-
cal skills, the Complex provides a 25-meter
swimming pool with three diving boards; a
fieldhouse unit that can be used interchan-
geably for badminton, volleyball, tennis, basket-
ball; a 115-meter indoor jogging track; enclosed
courts that can be used for handball, squash,
racquetball; two exercise rooms, one for men
and one for women; a multipurpose room that
can be used for modern dance, slimnastics,
exercising, student club meetings; two saunas
and a whirlpool bath; sunbathing deck; and
locker rooms. Just outside are six all-weather
tennis courts.

Adjacent to the complex is Alumni Hall, the
gymnasium, which is used primarily for intercol-
legiate sports. Outdoor facilities include several
fields and additional tennis courts that can be
used by both men and women for a variety of
intercollegiate, intramural, and club sports. The
broad expanses of the campus provide ample
opportunity for spur-of-the-moment physical
activity.

Other buildings range from the School of Nurs-
ing Building to the Bannow Science Center,
from generalized classroom buildings like Cani-
sius Hall to the Faculty Office Building, and
specialized facilities such as the Playhouse.

The best way to appreciate the utility of these
buildings and the modernity of their equipment
is through a campus visit, which can be ar-
ranged by the Admissions Office in Bellarmine
Hall.

Religious Activities

Because of its rich religious heritage, Fairfield
University encourages student participation in
religious activities. Many student organizations
— The Canisius Academy, the Knights of Co-
lumbus, etc. — have religious ties, but most
religious activities emanate from the Campus
Ministry Office.

The Campus Ministry team consists of two
Jesuits and a woman chaplain — all of whom
have had wide experience in providing students
with spiritual direction — and a number of
student volunteers. The Campus Ministry pro-
vides spiritual counseling, fosters prayer life,
plans seminars on religious and social con-
cerns, and encourages social response and
community involvement. There are daily litur-
gies for Catholic students. Members of the
Campus Ministry team are happy to put non-
Catholic students in contact with churches and
religious leaders of their faith.

Parking

All vehicles must display a valid parking permit
and park properly in the designated area. Park-
ing permits may be obtained at Security, Room
2, Loyola Hall. Unauthorized vehicles in handi-
capped, fire lane, or service vehicle spaces will
be towed at the owner's expense. Handicapped
vehicles must properly display an official State
or Fairfield University Handicapped permit. Uni-
versity permits may be obtained through Secur-
ity. A pamphlet detailing traffic and parking
regulations is available at Security.

I OO Admissions

Admissions

Fairfield University admits without discrimina-
tion students of any sex, race, color, religion,
national or ethnic origin, or handicap to all the
rights, privileges, programs, and activities
generally accorded or made available to stu-
dents of the University.

Freshman Admissions

Freshman students are admitted in September
only. The applicant should have received the
high school diploma from a recognized high
school or preparatory school, and should have
acquired no less than 15 units in college-
preparatory studies. The unit is commonly
understood as a measure of credit assigned for
the successful completion of a high school
course which meets four or five times each
week throughout the year; college-preparatory
units are those which are usually found in that
curriculum of the high school which explicitly
prepares for college.

No vocational, commercial, or industrial units
are considered to be preparatory to the work of
the liberal arts college. Candidates for admis-
sion may present entrance units chosen from
the following, among which must be at least
three units in high school mathematics and at
least two units in a foreign language, and one of
laboratory science. Candidates for mathematics
and the sciences are urged to pursue a fourth
unit of mathematics and a third unit in the
sciences. Candidates for nursing are strongly
encouraged to pursue a laboratory course in
chemistry.

In addition to the basic requirements, the appli-
cant must present evidence to indicate interest
in and competence for college studies. To that
end he or she must submit the complete record
of high school studies, together with other sup-
porting materials as described in the admis-
sions application form. All applicants are also
required to take the College Board Scholastic
Aptitude Test (SAT) or the American College
Testing Program Assessment (ACT). The
deadline for all Regular Decision applicants to
have all application materials (application, high
school transcript, SAT or ACT scores, and rec-
ommendation) in the Admissions Office is
March 1. The University also strongly recom-
mends that interested students come to campus
for a personal interview with an admissions
counselor. Applicants should normally rank in
the top 40 percent of their senior class, and all
applicants are recommended to take College
Board Achievement examinations for placement
purposes only. The achievement examinations
suggested to be taken are English, mathe-
matics, and a modern foreign language. Appli-
cants interested in majoring in a particular
science are recommended to take the achieve-

Admissions

169

ment examination in that science in place of the
modern foreign language examination. Candi-
dates for the pre-medical and pre-dental pro-
gram preferably will take the chemistry
achievement examination. Candidates for the
nursing program will take either the chemistry
or biology achievement examination. The same
pattern will apply to those submitting scores
from the American Testing Program (ACT).

Early Decision

Academically qualified students who have
selected Fairfield as their first choice are
strongly advised to pursue the option of Early
Decision. Students who wish to be considered
for Early Decision admission must have all
application materials (application, high school
transcript, SAT or ACT scores, and recommen-
dation) in the Admissions Office by December 1.
We consider it the responsibility of interested
students to visit the campus prior to the Decem-
ber 1 application deadline, and an interview
before that date is strongly recommended.
Those students who are admitted under Early
Decision have an obligation to attend Fairfield
and withdraw any applications to other colleges
and universities.

Advanced Placement and
Early Admission

Advanced Placement: While in high school,
some students pursue one or more college-level
Advanced Placement courses. Fairfield Univer-
sity permits such students to gain placement in
certain areas, or exemption from University core
courses if they (1) take an Advanced Placement
Test of the CEEB program, and (2) obtain a test
score acceptable to the Dean of Freshmen and
the Chair of the particular department con-
cerned. The score must never be under a "4."
Each student's record is studied individually,
and the decision regarding advanced place-
ment is made on the merit of each individual's
record of achievement.

Early Admission: Superior students who have
completed a four-year high school program at
the end of three years may apply for admission
to the University.

Wait List: Freshman applicants to Fairfield will
receive one of three decision letters: admit,
deny, or wait list offer. Wait list students who are
serious in their intent to remain on the wait list
are asked to submit a fee to hold their place.
This fee is refundable or applied toward tuition if
the student is eventually offered and accepts
admission.

Transfer Admissions
Admission to Advanced Standing

The University welcomes qualified students for
either first or second semester who wish to
transfer to Fairfield from other accredited col-
leges. Students interested in transferring must
have accumulated at least 30 credits and have
maintained at least a 2.5 average. In some
cases, a minimum of 15 credits with a 2.5
average and above may be considered for trans-
fer application. To apply, the student must sub-
mit, in addition to the required application
forms, a transcript of the high school and col-
lege records, and a letter (Form C) verifying that
the student is in good standing and eligible to
return to his or her former college.

Each candidate will be individually reviewed
and a program determined according to his or
her needs and accomplishment.

Every effort is made to accept transfer credit as
a program rather than totaling single course
credits, so that a student may be admitted to a
specific year at Fairfield, e.g., accepted as a
second semester sophomore or first semester
junior. The core courses of Fairfield's program
should be met, but appropriate adjustments will
be made in the individual case.

Every transfer student is required to complete at
least two years of full-time undergraduate study
in order to receive a Fairfield University Bache-
lor's Degree.

Applications should be directed to the Admis-
sions Office. The application deadline for Sep-
tember admission is June 1; the application
deadline for January admission is December 1.

Alumni Relatives

One of the strongest endorsements an educa-
tional institution can receive is to have alumni
send their children to their alma mater. At Fair-
field we believe that such candidates can contri-
bute significantly to enhancing the tradition and
the spirit that are an important part of a Fairfield
education. In light of this, it is our policy to give
special consideration to the sons and daughters
of alumni who apply as well as to the brothers
and sisters of current students and alumni. In
reviewing such applications, special importance
is attached to family ties to help ensure that a
sizable number of these candidates will be
admitted to the University.

Th3 trustees of the University reserve the right
to change tuition rates and to make additional
charges whenever they believe it to be neces-
sary.

All checks are to be made payable to Fairfield
University. A service charge of 1% on the un-
paid balance may be made monthly on any
balances remaining.

Foreign students who are admitted must make
known to the University the source of their
financial support for their college education.
They will be expected to make payment of a full
year's tuition, fees, and room and board before
their certificate of eligibility (Form I — 20A) is
issued.

The University deals with various companies
that offer flexible plans for payment of educa-
tional expenses. Please contact the Bursar's
office for information on these plans. Brochures
on these payment plans will be mailed to all
incoming freshmen.

No degree will be conferred and no transcripts
will be issued until all financial obligations to the
University have been met.

Financial Aid

Financial Aid Policy

Fairfield University administers a comprehen-
sive program of financial aid for students with
limited resources and strong academic poten-
tial. Fairfield utilizes the College Scholarship
Service uniform methodology to determine
financial aid recipients. The amount of aid a
student receives is based on financial need.
Financial need is the difference between the
total cost of attendance and the expected ability
of the family to contribute to these expenses.

Generally, students who have been admitted to
the University, and are offered financial assist-
ance, receive a "package," which combines the
various grants, loans, and student employment
programs available.

Members of the Financial Aid Office staff are
available throughout the year to advise and
answer any questions that students and their
parents might have.

Financial Aid announcements for entering
freshmen are made at the beginning of April.
Upperclass awards are issued in June.

Application Procedure

To be considered for financial aid at Fairfield
University, the following steps are required:

1. File a Financial Aid Form (FAF) with the
College Scholarship Service no later than
February 1st for entering freshmen and April

This form is available from high school guid-
ance offices or by writing to the Fairfield
University Financial Aid Office.

Financial Aid

Renewal Process

Any student who receives financial assistance at
Fairfield University is required to submit a com-
pleted Financial Aid Form by April 1st each year.
Continued eligibility for any program is based on
the following criteria:

1. Demonstrates financial need.

2. Shows satisfactory academic progress.

3. Carries an academic workload sufficient to
qualify as at least a half-time student during
the academic year.

4. Is not in default on any loan made from a
student loan fund at Fairfield, or on a loan
made, insured, or guaranteed under the
Guaranteed Student Loan Program.

5. Does not owe a refund on grants pre-
viously received for attendance at Fairfield
under the Pell Grant, Supplemental Educa-
tional Opportunity Grant, or State Student
Incentive Grant Programs.

Satisfactory Academic
Progress

In order to continue receiving student financial
aid, a student must maintain satisfactory aca-
demic progress according to the standards and
practices of Fairfield University. Progress at
Fairfield is measured both qualitatively and
quantitatively. Grades and credit hours com-
pleted provide the critical elements in the
measurement of a student's standing and prog-
ress, according to the following guidelines:

1) For advancement in good standing from
freshman to sophomore year, a student must
have a weighted quality point average (Q.P.A.) of
1.8; to advance to junior year, a Q.PA. of 1.9; to
senior year, a Q.PA. of 2.0. A student whose
average falls below these levels is ineligible to
receive financial aid.

2) A student whose semester average or Q.P.A.
falls below 1.8 in any semester, and who is
allowed to continue at the University, is consid-
ered on academic probation for the semester
following. A student in this category will be
allowed to receive financial aid for that semester
following.

3) A student who repeats a semester's work is
not considered to be making satisfactory aca-
demic progress. Financial aid for such a student
will be reinstated only when academic credits
are made up.

4) A student who has been placed on disci-
plinary probation may continue to receive finan-
cial assistance.

5) The University recognizes that individual cir-
cumstances affect a student's academic per-
formance. An interruption of studies because of
illness or death in the family, for example, will
not result in withdrawal from any assistance
program. Documentation is required for all ap-
peals based on such mitigating circumstances.

6) A full-time student must fulfill at least one-fifth
of the requirements for the bachelor's degree
each year that he or she is registered, in order to
be considered as making satisfactory academic
progress, since the concept of "satisfactory
progress" goes beyond that of "good standing."
Proportionate progress must be made by part-
time students.
